Extended Detection and Response - Demystifying Common Myths About XDR

There has been a tremendous buzz across the cybersecurity community about the emerging technology known as XDR (eXtended Detection & Response). Unfortunately, for the practitioner, there has yet to be a single definition widely accepted by both analysts and vendors perporting to be knowledgeable on the subject. What is XDR and why should I consider the technology in my enterprise security stack? What should I expect from vendors who claim to have built the perfect mousetrap? What is reality, and what is just hype?

This session is intended to walk the audience through some generally accepted value statements associated with XDR while attempting to debunk a few common myths that continue to muddy the water for security teams

Defense in Concert: Evolving Your SecOps Strategy

Without the right integration between your security technologies, you cannot gain the necessary context to act against today’s threats. So, how can you get a holistic view of your security infrastructure? And how can the right blend of people, processes, strategies, and technologies help maximize your overall defence? In this session, you will learn how a “defense-in-concert” approach to security can make all the difference when outmanoeuvring today’s threat actors. You will understand why additional security layers do not necessary equate to a stronger defence and discover how to gain better visibility, context, and collaboration across your IT ecosystem. Finally, you will examine all the ways to modernize your security operations and improve threat detection and response.

Beyond 2022: Get One Step Ahead of the Ransomware Attackers

When a Ransomware attack happens, recovery can be complex and time-consuming, and in many cases, backup data could be encrypted or deleted. With Qatar hosting the World Cup in 2022, it brings it’s own data risks, along with more data than ever, in more places than ever, with all of it needing to be managed and protected. A challenge that legacy solutions aren’t equipped to handle. With the world of digitisation accelerating at a tremendous rate, many companies are asking, ' is our data fully secure? Are we fully covered should the worst happen?'.

During this session, Mohammed will share best practices on protecting your data, and how to set up a strong contingency plan should the worst happen.

XDR – Why it’s a must for Enterprises

Enterprises require a comprehensive and proactive security strategy to protect their whole landscape of IT assets, including legacy endpoints, mobile devices and cloud workloads, without overburdening their employees and in-house management resources. Security personnel are battling a deluge of data that leads to alert overload, too many false positives and a lack of data integration with analysis tools or incident response, all while operating under unprecedented levels of stress. This session outlines the benefits of extended detection and response capabilities, explaining why it must form a key part of organisations’ security strategy.

Building an Effective Threat Informed Defense Program

What is threat-informed defense? Most organizations lack clear visibility into their security controls’ effectiveness. Security controls fail often and silently, and breaches continue to carry impact. Cybersecurity teams need a proactive, easy means to stay on top of how well their security programs are actually performing. A threat-informed defense strategy helps solve this problem by focusing organizations on known threats, and then testing security controls against adversary behaviours like those outlined in the MITRE ATT&CK® framework. By testing defenses continuously, over time, teams have better data and insights into their program performance.
