We’ve all seen the headlines – another organization has been hacked, disclosing sensitive business information. But in most cases, that breach began months, even years before the headlines. In this unusual keynote address, you’ll hear about the full lifecycle of a data breach – from its conception by cybercriminals to its detection by the victim organization to its resolution by security and incident response teams. Get an insider’s view of a critical data compromise – and the lessons it teaches about how to defend your own enterprise data.

To effectively handle a major data compromise, you must build a plan in advance. How will the incident be detected? Who will handle first response? How will you stop the attack and repair the damage, and how will you inform those who might be affected? In this informative session, a top expert on cyber incident response will offer a roadmap for developing an effective incident response initiative. You’ll learn about the tools and processes needed for early detection, breach investigation, and system remediation. You’ll also get insight on who should be involved in an IR program, and how to rehearse your team – before they face the real thing.

Experts agree: the damage caused by a major data breach depends heavily on the decisions made in the first 24 hours after its discovery. How is the compromise detected? Should the affected systems be taken offline? Should service providers and business partners be called in to help? Should law enforcement be notified? In this fascinating session, a panel of experienced cyber first responders discuss how successful organizations have minimized the damage by making the right decisions in the initial hours of an online attack. You’ll also get a look at the pitfalls that enterprises encounter in those first 24 hours, and how the wrong choices can make the effects of a data breach significantly worse.

To limit the damage caused by a cyber compromise, your team must quickly be able to analyze and predict its potential effects. What is the extent of the compromise, and what downstream systems (or business partners) could it affect? Once inside your network, what lateral moves could an attacker make, and how can you limit them? Most importantly, how can you quickly remediate all associated systems to keep the damage at a minimum? In this panel discussion, top security analysts and experts offer advice on how to determine the extent of a data breach, how to limit its impact, and how to prevent that same attack from happening again.

The worst is over. Your organization has detected an online compromise, determined the damage, stopped the attackers, and repaired the affected systems. But you’re not out of the woods yet. What legal liabilities might your organization face as the result of the breach? Should you file a cyber insurance claim? What steps should you take to ensure that a similar breach doesn’t happen again – and how can you assure customers and business partners that you have taken those steps? In this panel session, you’ll get insight on the long-term impacts of data breaches – including the technical, legal, and financial steps your organization may need to take. You’ll also get recommendations on how to reduce the impact of a major breach, and how to shore up your systems and processes to prevent future compromises.
