KEYNOTE: 

 

   TEN CRAZY IDEAS FOR FIXING SECURITY
-Wendy Nather

The security industry is growing like never before — not just in the number of startups and ideas, but in investments and valuation. And yet some of these “new ideas” seem awfully familiar (don’t IOCs sound a lot like signatures to you?). The number of breaches isn’t decreasing; vulnerabilities are discovered on a daily basis, sometimes after having been around for decades. Maybe what we need is some outside-the-sandbox thinking. In this session, 451 Research director Wendy Nather will throw out the data from over 1,000 security vendors and start fresh with some ideas so crazy, they just might work. No sacred cows will be admitted to the keynote except in the form of BBQ brisket.

     Title: Faces of Fraud: How Cybercriminals are Attacking Financial Institutions

The virtual branch is the financial institution¹s franchise. But satisfying the experience of your valuable customers while protecting against the latest threats brings new challenges in securing this critical channel. Cybercrime has transformed into a sophisticated, billion-dollar industry, and high-risk targets need to develop a security posture that can scale to the volume and maturity of cyber-attacks being carried out. Multi-layered security solutions are needed to protect your virtual branch from fraud - but what does this even mean? This session will highlight tools and best practices on pressing issues - account takeover, social engineering, neural network monitoring, and emerging payments. Join this session to hear Jay McLaughlin, Chief Security Officer for Q2, who will share insights on how to protect against the most persistent and motivated cyber adversaries.
