FIRESIDE CHAT: Ransomware In The Cloud: Securing Serverless Digital Storage From Hidden Malware
Aviv Grafi, CEO, Votiro
Rich Hosgood, Director of Engineering, VotiroLearn moreFinancial institutions are uniquely vulnerable to file-borne threats. Having to accept and process tens of thousands of files a day from multiple sources—emails, uploads to customer-facing online portals & apps, and downloads from the web—puts financial entities at a unique risk.
Digital transformation and remote work have increased the risk, as files entering cloud storage can contain hidden threats, and these storage environments are largely unprotected or insufficiently protected. In this fireside chat, Votiro Director of Engineering, Rich Hosgood, and CEO Aviv Grafi, will discuss various trends affecting how file-borne malware is entering financial institutions and the various risks faced when it comes to accepting files – both through traditional means and from cloud-based applications.

FIRESIDE CHAT: Building The Business Case For Connected Device Inventory and Security
Jeff Horne, CSO, Ordr
Marc Crudgington, CISO, Woodforest BankLearn moreConnected devices including a new wave of IoT devices is driving digital transformation in financial services. But, whether dealing with traditional laptops and servers, or ATMs, security cameras and connected facilities equipment, these devices bring potential cybersecurity risks if not properly secured. This is particularly important as you consider the statistic that cyberattacks hit financial services firms 300 times more than other sectors. At the same time, security teams must maintain and document regulatory compliance with a wide array of standards ranging from PCI-DSS, FNRA, and FFIEC.
Join us for this fireside chat as Jeff Horne, CSO Of Ordr and Marc Crudgington, CISO of Woodforest Bank, discuss how to build a business case for a connected device security program. They will explore the risks that connected and IoT devices bring, the importance of real-time asset inventory, and considerations to secure high-risk devices. Jeff and Marc will also share real-world financial services best practices.
In this session, you will learn the following
• Risks with the explosive growth of connected devices in financial services
• How to develop a business case to secure these devices
• How to start with asset inventory and understanding of device behavior and risks
• Real-world financial services best practices

INTERACTIVE ROUNDTABLES:
Learn more1. ROUNDTABLE: A Full Cloud Platform for Continuous Global IT, Security, and Compliance Assessment
Led By Qualys
The past year has brought into stark relief the need for organizations to have strong, cloud-based security and compliance policies. As companies engage in swift digital transformation, cybersecurity now plays a much larger role and requires us to change how we have operated in the past. Stitched-together security stacks that collect data in fragments, cannot scale, and do not interoperate are no longer viable options. Instead, security teams need an end-to-end cloud platform that gives them visibility across all their IT assets no matter where they are along with automated threat prioritization, patching and response capabilities. Given the severity of today’s threats, a full cloud platform will also need to do these things continuously, even across third-party cloud platforms, so your team can always assess the organization’s global IT, security, and compliance posture. Join our conversation as we discuss the challenges our security platforms face as well as best practices for building a next-generation cloud platform that collects and analyzes telemetry data in real time for continuous threat response.
