The cybersecurity threat landscape changes every day. As a result, technology for cyber defense and incident response is changing almost as rapidly. In this keynote address, a top technology expert discusses some of the newest trends in the evolution of cyber technology, and offers recommendations on what technological developments your enterprise should watch for in 2021 and beyond.

The cybersecurity market is teeming with new waves of technology, new vendors, and new categories of products that promise to revolutionize data security. As a security professional, how do you keep up with these new technologies, how do you choose which ones to implement, and how do they work in real-life, operating IT environments? In this keynote address, an experienced security practitioner discusses the process of evaluating new technology as well as the benefits and pitfalls of bringing next-generation tools into your enterprise.

The COVID-19 pandemic has left most enterprises struggling to secure a plethora of remote systems and networks that were never meant to carry sensitive data. As the overnight IT infrastructure of 2020 becomes the permanent infrastructure of 2021, what technologies and processes will enterprises use to secure those remote systems? In this panel discussion, experts will offer advice and recommendations on how to build a secure remote access strategy that works for the long haul.

Many enterprises have seen the value of endpoint detection and response, but many are now seeing a need for detection and response capabilities on other systems, including networks, cloud services, and managed services. This concept of extended detection and response, also known as XDR, is spawning a new range of technology choices and implementation challenges. In this panel discussion, experts offer insights to help enterprises understand XDR, as well as the challenges and pitfalls of implementing these emerging technologies in an already-complex IT environment.

For many enterprises, the challenge of 2021 will not be which new cybersecurity technologies to implement, but how to make their old cybersecurity technologies work better together. In some cases, enterprises are seeking better ways to integrate and orchestrate their disparate security systems. In other cases, organizations seek to better automate the operation of these security tools so that they can detect new threats faster, with less human intervention. In this panel discussion, experts will offer advice on how to make orchestration work in complex IT environments, as well as recommendations on how to automate security tasks and processes.
