Secure Enterprise Browsing Starts with Chrome

Hundreds of millions of people work in Chrome every day, and Chrome gives enterprises the
controls and protections that keep corporate data safe. When paired with BeyondCorp
Enterprise, businesses can secure hybrid and remote workforces and enforce context-aware
access controls across managed and unmanaged devices. Google’s approach to secure
enterprise browsing protects organizations for internal and external threats. By applying data
loss prevention, extension controls, phishing and malware protections and more right within the browser, and giving security teams the reporting and visibility they need, Google is raising the bar on browser security.

Security Culture; making cybersecurity an active part of your organization

Having a successful security posture is more easily said than done. It takes a well-designed strategy for a host of multi-faceted parameters to come together to truly bring security to an organization.

Security Culture, being the ideas, customs, and social behaviors of an organization that influence security, is a powerful tool to help nurture and sustain that which keeps your organization safe.

In this session, we’ll be hearing from industry expert Jelle Wieringa about how you can use security culture to your advantage. Based on statistics from academic research, combined with real-world experience, you’ll hear everything you need to know to better understand what it can bring you and your organization.

In this session you will learn:

  • What defines a Security Culture;
  • How can you measure and better understand your existing security culture;
  • What are proven and practical ways to grow your security culture?

Expert Panel 1

Thought Leaders - How Identity and Access Management Boosts Security

  • The zero-trust strategy dispenses with the conventional notion that businesses should trust everyone or everything that is connected to a network or protected by a firewall
  • System and network administrators should regulate access to business networks or systems based on individual users’ roles, which are defined by their job title, level of authority, and responsibility within the business
  • Human and device identification – digital identities both for humans and devices (aplications)

Cloud Security Maturity + CNAPP

Leveraging CNAPP to Turn Security Experts into Cloud Experts and Cloud Experts into Security Experts

As organizations have accelerated their move to the cloud, a common problem is the shortage of trained professionals with cloud security expertise. Recent research found that 84% of organizations rank themselves at the lowest level of cloud security maturity, and more than 80% of those organizations also admitted to not having a dedicated cloud security team/team lead*.

At this session, we’ll explain how to determine the cloud security maturity level of your organization and how to leverage Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) to advance the maturity level.

You will learn how to:

  • Automate complex cloud security operations through meaningful visualization and step- by-step guidance.
  • Take an identity-first approach to dramatically reduce your cloud attack surface and enforce least privilege at scale.
  • Leverage Ermetic to empower stakeholders across the organization to drive accurate risk prioritization and remediation across multicloud environments.

Securing Cloud Native Applications at Scale

Modern cloud native technologies enable you to build, deploy, and scale rapidly. But this increased complexity exposes your application to new risks and vulnerabilities. Each layer of your cloud native application – spanning your code, third party dependencies, containers, and clusters – exposes you to new security concerns. Learn how you can protect your application through clear remediation actions and best practices for each attack scenario.

Visibility is crucial: E-criminals will find your internet-facing assets you do not know much about

You can only protect the assets you know of, so it’s important to have a high visibility on all your internet-facing assets. Even more in times like these in which states/hackers/the bad guys try to cause havoc. They do not need to target you specifically, but they will find your assets, you do not know about.

Ransomware attacks are going everywhere - You or your business could be the next!

Ransomware attacks are on the rise, and no one is safe. Businesses of all kinds, particularly those with vulnerable online systems, need to remain vigilant and take proactive steps to protect themselves.

This includes regularly updating software and hardware, implementing strong security protocols, training staff in cybersecurity best practices, and having a backup system in place in case of an attack. Finally, businesses should keep up to date with the latest attack trends and consider engaging with a cybersecurity specialist for additional advice and guidance.

CISO at Danish Energy Grid

During my 20+ years in the security sector I have a good feeling about what works in practice and gives results and what doesn’t. The part that engages me most is integration of technical security with legal and financial aspects as well as people’s behavior.

Jonas Rendahl

CISO at Aurobay

My name is Jonas Rendahl and I work as CISO at Aurobay (Powertrain Engineering Sweden AB). I live south of Gothenburg with my wife and daughter.

I started my interest in computers and security at an early age. I have worked within IT since early 2000 but I have worked within many different industries and areas before that. Within IT I have worked with things like development, support, testing, management, audits, disaster and recovery, architecture, operational security and almost all aspects of security you can think of.

I have a keen interest in security and love the fact that it is such a dynamic and ever-evolving industry. From all of my experiences I have learnt that nothing is static and that all experiences are something to learn from.

I am a rather pragmatic person in such respect that I try to listen the organization’s needs and weigh that against potential risks and possible and plausible security measures. I am a firm believer in simplicity over complexity and in setting up the foundation for fruitful conversations by first defining the boundaries and basic concepts to ensure everyone understand each other.
