Go on the Offensive by Merging AI and Human Expertise for Email Security

Paul Clark, Head of Sales, EMEA, Ironscales 

AI-driven technologies like GenAI and deepfakes are creating challenges that IT Security and MSP leaders can’t afford to ignore. The surge in AI-powered attacks means traditional defenses used by most organizations are no longer enough. Attackers are stepping up their game, crafting hyper-realistic, personalized attacks that are nearly indistinguishable from the real thing—and it’s only going to get more intense as these tools evolve.

So, how do we fight back? In this session, we’ll explore how to rethink your approach, using AI to combat AI and keep pace with these threats. We’ll also touch on how a "red team/blue team" strategy can help you stay one step ahead, leveraging AI to anticipate future attacks, arm your defences, and proactively mitigate them. 
 
Attendees will learn:

• How email security has evolved in the last decade  
• How AI is transforming traditional email security approaches 
• Integrating human insight with AI algorithms 
• Leveraging AI to create highly accurate and dynamic phishing simulations 
• The benefits of a holistic approach to secure law firms 
   

Hackers don’t Hack in – They Log In. How to Combat the Threat of Identity Compromise

Lee Elliott, Director, Solutions Engineering, BeyondTrust

The world of cyber security is changing, with more dynamic highly connected systems than ever. With an explosion of apps, accounts and access, the battleground has shifted from traditional perimeter and endpoint security into the world of identity security, effectively meaning the hacker has been replaced by the credentials thief. With Identity compromise common to almost every cyber-attack, distinguishing between how a legitimate user is leveraging an identity and the misuse of that identity by an unauthorized user is difficult. This leaves the door open for threat actors to use impersonated identities to access resources, compromise systems, move laterally and achieve their illicit objectives. Today this is effectively making identity the new security perimeter. Join the discussion with Lee as he shares what is driving this paradigm shift, and how attackers are successfully exploiting the gaps in visibility between IAM and security tools.

Attendees will learn:

• How the threat landscape is evolving
• Real world examples of identity breaches
• How attackers are exploiting hidden paths to privilege
• How controlling identities and privileges can be your greatest defence

How Non-Human Identities Create Operational and Cyber Risk for Organisations

Peter Batchelor, UK&I Regional Director, Silverfort
Al Scott, Senior Sales Engineer EMEA, Silverfort

Non-Human Identities (NHIs) pose one of the most significant cyber threats to an organisation as they can pose severe operational risks. In many cases, NHIs have elevated privileges, lack proper oversight, are not documented, and are often not linked to specific individuals. This makes them attractive targets for attackers, who may exploit them to gain unauthorised access, move laterally within systems, and carry out malicious activities without being detected. In our session, Silverfort will examine how organisations can reduce operational risk by understanding and implementing security controls around their Non-Human Identities.

Attendees will learn:

• Understand why Non-Human Identities should be a top priority for your board
• Learn about how to measure and detect the level of risk Non-Human Identities pose for your organisation
• Grow your knowledge of how to mitigate the risk of Non-Human Identities, before, during and after a cyber breach

ITDR that works for you - challenges and how to manage them

Anthony Moillic, Field CISO, Netwrix Corporation

84% of organisations have suffered identity breaches in the past year.
In these attacks, threat actors assume the identity of a legitimate user to compromise systems, move laterally in networks and gain higher levels of access. But these threats are difficult to detect because traditional tools lack the ability to distinguish between a legitimate user and a malicious actor.
Therefore, to protect their sensitive data and mission-critical systems, organisations need a comprehensive Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) approach.

Attendees will learn:

• About the challenges of trying to counter modern attacks and the solutions to help you do so, including Netwrix recent acquisition, PingCastle

Securing Microsoft Copilot: Preventing Prompt-Hacking and Data Exposure

William Priestley, Sales Engineer Manager, Varonis

Microsoft Copilot has been called one of the most powerful productivity tools on the planet, taking drudgery out of daily work. But Copilot is a different beast than ChatGPT and other AI tools because it has access to everything you’ve ever worked on in Microsoft 365, and therein lies the hidden risks for information security teams.

Attendees will learn:

• We’ll show you just how easily your company’s sensitive data can be exposed using Microsoft Copilot with simple prompts. 
• Our team will then share practical steps and strategies to ensure a secure Microsoft Copilot rollout and prevent prompt-hacking data exposure.

Thinking Like a Cybercriminal

Etay Maor, Chief Security Strategist, Founding Member of Cato CTRL, Cato Networks

We hear them in many cyber security presentations. They are so integrated into marketing campaigns, websites, interviews and product pitches that they have effectively become a universally agreed upon "truth". Cyber security myths. Not only are they incorrect but they can be downright dangerous.

In this session we will take several of these extremely popular "truths", explain their origin and how they got to where they are today and then, more importantly, bust these myths using examples from security incidents and recent security research. “Attackers need to be right just once and the defenders need to be right all the time”? “More security products mean better security”? “Sophisticated threat actors use sophisticated tools”? I don’t think so…
See how threat actors evade security controls, processes, and tools

Attendees will learn:

• The state of adversarial AI - using, targeting and abusing AI systems
• Learn how to implement a multi-chokepoint approach to the attack killchain
• Understand how to gain visibility into suspicious network activity
• Busting cybersecurity myths

Browser security – the proven prevention layer for enterprise cybersecurity

Brett Raybould, Director, Solutions Engineering , Menlo Security

According to Google, 98% of attacks originate from internet usage and 80% of those target end user browsers – sadly all too successfully. Combine this stark reality, with users’ relentless demand for new SaaS and private applications, often collaborating with external stakeholders, and security pros are always running to stand still.

Attendees will learn:

• Security – The proven value of robust browser security across managed and unmanaged devices – automating browser configuration and establishing enhanced browser forensics.
• Connectivity – Your users and third parties need access to SaaS applications, private web apps and data, including the use of GenAI. We share how organisations are enhancing user protection and productivity while reducing the cost and complexity of solutions such as VDI.
• Compliance – How browser security supports organisations striving to comply with key NIS 2 requirements for incident management and prevention 
• We will provide real world examples and case studies of how to increase cyber prevention through improved browser security.
