Live threat emulation — the new risks posed by RaaS

Ransomware trends | Deep web

The rise of ransomware as a service (RaaS) is enabling everyday unskilled hackers to execute highly sophisticated cyber attacks via the deep web.

In this session, you will watch a real-time threat emulation unfold before your eyes as our speakers discuss how RaaS is making cyber crime easier than ever for hackers.

Our speaker will show you just how easy it is onto get to the dark web and access these services as they unpack the RaaS model, how it redefines our understanding of ransomware incidents and the new risks it poses to your organisation.

Gain insights to:

  • The RaaS model and the changing risk environment it poses for your business
  • Analysis into ransomware threats and the trends you need to be wary of
  • Legal considerations that pose risks to companies transferring funds to ransomware actors

Dealing with cyber security’s Industrial Revolution

The last 10 years have seen sweeping changes move through our industry. Infrastructure has been transformed, teams have split and reformed, and autonomy has become paramount for organisational transformation. This has created a perfect storm for the cyber security industry, with traditional practices being stretched to breaking point, and often beyond. In this talk, Grant Orchard, Field CTO for HashiCorp explores these trends in greater detail, detailing ways in which our cyber paradigms and strategies need to shift in order to support these changes while sharing some customer stories that highlight successful navigation of these challenges.

Safeguarding OT in the evolution to industry 4.0

OT security

Industry 4.0 will see the ultimate partnership between intelligent humans and smart machines. With new IoT technologies being embraced, new cyber security risks to critical infrastructure begin to emerge.

In this session, we will unpack the unique threats to industries such as energy, transportation, water monitoring and distribution, oil and gas, and communications systems that pose potentially catastrophic risks if their systems are left vulnerable.

Gain insights to the latest threats in OT and how companies can future-proof their critical infrastructure protection strategies.

In this session:

  • Case studies of OT breaches
  • What are the emerging trends and threats faced by smart industrial organisations?
  • How does securing industrial environments differ culturally and technically from securing IT?
  • Best practices and risk remediation techniques specific to OT security

Discover how you can counter the latest OT threats to protect the critical services supporting our daily lives.
