Thought Leader Insights: Securing the Hyperconnected World
Dec 9, 2022 8:00am ‐ Dec 9, 2022 8:55am
Identification: SS22DC14b
As wearables, AR, and connected healthcare devices become ubiquitous, people are increasingly reliant on nonstop, secure connectivity for health, information, and entertainment. With this great convenience comes great risk; some threats are obvious and some quite subtle. In this discussion, we’ll examine the three key links in the chain, potential weaknesses and how to secure them:
- Endpoint devices themselves
- The communication network, increasingly 5G
- Back-end cloud services, including ZTA impact
As these are often provided by different entities, standards and interoperability become important, but each of these links is subject to risks and limitations imposed by the other. In this presentation, we’ll discuss the best practices for secure design and validation at each step to ensure a trusted and reliable hyper-connected world.
Learning Objective:- Understand the risk factors across IOT deployments of any scale, starting at the individual devices then the network then the back-end cloud services that power them.

Threats Outside the Agency Perimeter: The Not-So-Secret Backdoors into Your Organization
Dec 9, 2022 1:30pm ‐ Dec 9, 2022 2:25pm
Identification: SS22DC08
High-profile individuals in both the public and private sector are frequent targets of threat actors aiming to exfiltrate data, commit fraud, take over their accounts, disseminate false information, impersonate or extort them. Such forms of malicious exploitation often lead to initial compromise, facilitate costly ransomware attacks, and result in operational, financial, and reputational losses.
This session will highlight the benefits of an intelligence-based security program to reduce executive exposure - and therefore risk - in a world of rapidly evolving threats. We’ll also examine the process of building or maturing an Intelligence program that empowers an agency to move from a reactive to a proactive security posture and stay ahead of the enemy.
