You can't always choose what happens to you in life. You can ALWAYS choose how you respond.” As a lifetime IT professional, Jody Davids’ outlook on leadership is deeply impactful and inspiring.

Jody will share key lessons she learned as she moved through her career at iconic global brands while going through the ups and downs of raising her own family.

From ransomware to Mac threats, attacks are up this year. Join Malwarebytes and your peers for an enlightening hour of discussion and interaction. Pulling from our analysis of millions of attacks on endpoints each year, we'll recap 2019 threats and outline emerging trends in 2020. Together we'll cover: Huge shifts from consumer attacks to organizations, Growth in mobile threats, Top industries impacted, Rise in ransomeware, 2020 cybersecurity prediction, and Blending automation with human elements to keep endpoints operational.

Trends in both Privacy and Malware are coming. While the advertising industry has realized the power of targeted omni-channel marketing, cyber criminals have embarked on a similar journey towards targeted attacks on both organizations and individuals. Data science has propelled us towards a new era of data points that describe how we move through time and space, and what our decisions, preferences and movements are likely to be. When it is possible to re-identify data after it has been anonymized and track our behaviors in both the physical and cyber realms, we arrive at a point of no return: all static data that identifies us has been or will be stolen and collected and combined, and so all related meta-data from now on will be tied to our true identity. This opens the door to a new era in which criminals and nation states will soon be able to target victims uniquely. Like their commercial counterparts, they will have teh ability to accomplish this at scale, with teh same algorithmically-enhanced efficacy, and with 100% confidence in the identities they are targeting. Looking further out, criminals may find new ways to extort us as organizations and individuals... by modifying (vs. stealing) our privacy data. The only thing worse than a doctor losing access to a patient record due to a ransomeware attack, is one whom has access to the record but cannot trust the accuracy of the information. Or worse, when a surgeon goes through with a surgery without knowing the data was modified... Welcome to the era, then, of Privacy Warfare.

The dark web is growing at an exponential rate, with hackers doubling down on cyber-crime as a service- allowing non-traditional and unskilled hackers to wreak havoc in ways previously impossible. Criminals don't have to be skilled to get your data; they just have to hire someone who is.

Based on findings in Armor's 2019 Black Market Report, this session aims to expose the inner workings and business of the cyber underground, focusing on:

How do you start digital disruption Journey with application modernization? How much time you are spending analyzing the workloads manually? Let's dig deeper into building Enterprise as a service cutting down setup costs by 90% increasing 80% speed to Market. 

How do you recognize when disruption is key for continued relevance? Do you recognize when benign neglect causes "fate to come a-knockin" because performance measurements are no longer good enough? How do you plan to energize your team to actively participate into disrupting the same old song and dance? Let's look at writing and playing a different tune.

Increase data usage demands of the business stakeholders have created a need or complex controls and board level transparency and accountability for CIO’s/CISO’s. With data growing exponentially and the industry's migration into third party managed Realms company board level Executives hold CIO’s/CISO’s accountable for effectively managing and Reporting the full complex datascope from all external and internal and controls.

Doing DR and reansonware recovery right starts with converging primary storage, backup, disaster recovery, mobility, and encryption into a single platform. Datrium DVX is the leading disaggregated HCI (DHCI) solution in the market today with a consistent data plane that works seamlessly across private and public clouds, including the only converged platform that has achieved FIPS 140-2 Cryptographic Certification, utilizing the AES-XTS-256 military grade crypto algorithm. By integrating a catalog and policy engine over per-VM snapshots, Datrium enables customers to instantly restart any workload from local or AWS Gov Cloud S3 backups during a disaster, delivering protection from threats like natural disasters and ransomeware.

Data growth, mobile devices, security threats, and other trends are dividing organizations to change and upgrade data center designs and architectures. But balancing deployment speed, performance, and scale with end-user requirements like fast response time for services and applications complicate architecting a network. On top of these challenges, emerging technologies like containers and microservices add layers of complexity, management, and security risks.

It's safe to say, that we're hyper-focused on cybersecurity more that we've ever been before. Managing hybrid environments that have rapidly spawned from the on-site landscapes to the cloud. The sheer number of security products as well as resources required to implement and manage them continues to grow. New and shiny tools are introduced into the market at breakneck speeds. We test and validate, purchase and implement, but that simply ins't enough. How can we prioritize our security efforts and investments and ensure we're covering all of the bases? Do we really need more tools before we truly understand how our existing tools and investments are performing? Join me in a discussion where we'll tackle these questions as we delve into Cybersecurity Hygiene and address what it takes to become secure and continuously adjust our security coverage to present day threats and prepare for the future.

When prevention fails, never pay the ransom! Ransomeware is targeting schools, municipalities, healthcare and other business with fierce determination, elegant phishing attacks, and brute force. With so many organizations paying the ransom to restore operations, the bad guys are winning. Learn how to easily and very affordably deploy a rensomware immutable storage strategy for all your data, especially for your backups.

In this presentation we will cover the 3 steps to Better IT Insights for the Better Business Outcomes.
