► Offensive and Continuous Security Testing - the emerging standard beyond traditional Penetration Testing

Ron Peeters, Vice President Middle East/Emerging Markets, Synack

Increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks can easily exploit serious Vulnerabilities in live systems that you are not aware of TODAY, are not found with the common vulnerability scanning tools and neither by traditional Penetration Testing. Hence the need for a new, next generation approach of Offensive Security testing that better mimics and preempts malicious attack behavior.

In this session you’ll learn:

  • Why the current model of compliance-based penetration testing is increasingly ineffective and obsolete.
  • Which exploitable vulnerabilities are missed the most and cause the greatest concern.
  • How a model combining highly skilled security researchers (with a hacker mindset) deployed in large Cohorts provides the necessary critical mass.
  • Several customer examples in the Middle East benchmarking the advantage of Offensive Security Testing.

► How AI based ‘Threat Detection & Response’ finds and stops Ransomware

Abdullrazaq Zahran, Security Engineering Manager | META, Vectra AI

Cybercriminals are always looking for easy targets and opportunities to steal personal information.

During our presentation we will cover:

  • How prepared your organisation is to detect and respond to a ransomware attack
  • What approaches other organisations are taking to stop ransomware gangs
  • How to detect and respond to Ransomware before it impacts you
