Agenda

Welcome to Cyber Summit 2024!

We’re only four years into the 2020’s, but this decade has seen more discussions revolving around artificial intelligence than any other decade before it. Government agencies are aware of AI’s meteoric rise, and while many public sector leaders are searching for ways to harness it, they are also wary of the risks it carries. Delve into the polarizing nature of AI and its current and future impact on society, industries, and technology.

The government must contend with a variety of threats from all over the globe. There are too many threats to cover in a short talk but this briefing will illuminate some of the more important ones that have and will make headlines in the coming year. John Hultquist from Mandiant Intelligence will briefly cover threats from Russia, China, North Korea, and China as well as the criminal threat.

Individual states have their own policies regarding data management, privacy, and transparency. Join us for exclusive insight into the data ecosystem of Indiana's state government as two Indiana data leaders delve into the intricate workings of data maintenance, analytics, and ethical concerns. Explore the intersection of AI, data governance, and privacy protections.

The convergence of IT and OT environments is creating new opportunities for public sector agencies. However, as cyber attacks on evolving critical infrastructure continue to surge and new regulations create ownership of risk, the consequences of being caught unprepared escalates. Join us as we discuss the challenges of addressing OT security in government agencies, new legislative requirements for securing OT devices, and the basic steps agencies should take to reduce OT risk and improve overall resilience.

Learn how organizations are transforming their SOCs with an automation-first foundation using Cortex XSIAM. Learn how to leverage machine learning and automation within a simplified infrastructure to intelligently stitch disparate data into a coherent storyline. Free your talented human analysts to focus on the proactive (and interesting) work while automating FTEs for routine and operationalized tasks.

Cyber attacks have only grown more frequent in recent years, especially against U.S. government agencies. Government agencies were the third most common target of ransomware gangs in 2023. What are some of the trends, tactics, and targets that cyber attackers adhere to? How impactful are these attacks, and how can cybersecurity teams be more prepared to defend against them?

As cyber adversaries refine their tactics, so too must our defenses. This talk highlights the transformative potential of IAM in predicting and preventing future cyber attacks through user behavior analytics and AI-driven identity assessments. It will provide a roadmap for deploying IAM frameworks that are not only reactive but predictive, ensuring that government entities remain one step ahead of cybercriminals.

From deepfakes to false viral posts, misinformation and disinformation are rampant online. As government agencies and employees are becoming targets of online deception campaigns, how can disinformation and misinformation be countered through detection and monitoring tools? How are public and private agencies working together to build resilience and media literacy against false information, especially in an election year?

Browsers are a security blindspot. Browsers are essential for today’s modern businesses, enabling easy access to crucial SaaS and private web apps for your remote, contractor, and/or BYOD users. But here's the catch: they're also prime targets for cyber attacks, leaving your organization vulnerable to browser-based security risks. Join us for this engaging interview and receive groundbreaking strategies to protect your agency from emerging threats and experience firsthand the power of cloud-delivered enterprise browser security.

The landscape of identity management is an important and dynamic one. Explore the transformative evolution from traditional identity management processes to modern ICAM methods and learn how effective identity management strategies are paramount to security.
