Speaking sessions

Keynote Session- Threat Response Needs New Thinking. Don't Ignore this Key Resource.

Monday, April 24​ | 3:55 – 4:15 p.m.

Solutions claiming to be intelligent, promise to rescue the SOC from alert fatigue. To catch attacks in real-time and remain resilient in the face of such occurrences, you’ll need some savvy, a desire to mimic the gumshoes of old, and the most important technical asset of all – your network.

Why Extended Detection and Response (XDR) Must Unite our Industry

Wednesday, April 26​ | 9:40 – 10:30 a.m. PT​

Threat actors have more Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) at their disposal than ever before. The promise of XDR is to combine telemetry from multiple sources, apply analytics to detect these malicious activities, and enable confident and timely responses. Join us to learn why XDR must unite our industry: without it, we have little hope of combating increasingly sophisticated adversaries.​

Imagine it is 2028, five years into the organization's Zero Trust transformation. People like it, usability has improved.
