Exposure Management is here to allow a strategy and process for addressing the reduction of risk over the entire attack surface.
This session would present a simple, pragmatic approach to implementing an Exposure Management strategy with minimal incremental investment while focusing on automation and validation.

Darktrace: Innovating Cyber Resilience – An Adaptive Approach
Tony Jarvis, DIRECTOR OF ENTERPRISE SECURITY, Darktrace
Cyber resilience is a topic firmly on Board agendas, yet the burden of incident response still falls mostly to human teams. Is there a role technology – specifically AI – could play to get ahead of the recovery before the situation becomes a crisis?
Darktrace’s Cyber AI Loop is a continuous, virtuous cycle that autonomously prevents, detects, and responds to attacks. In this session, explore how it represents a true step change for organisations to break free from a reactionary state, enabling real-time proactive mitigation of threats, while minimising the impact on business operations.

Axonius: From Asset Management to Asset Intelligence: Crossing the CAASM
Daniel Grice, SENIOR SALES ENGINEER, Axonius
As the sprawl of devices, device types, and solutions continues to skyrocket, environments only grow more complex. But there’s good news: asset management has evolved. Today’s “asset intelligence” moves from a spreadsheet approach to an API-driven, always up-to-date view into all assets via integrations of existing tools, data correlation at scale, and querying capabilities to find and respond to gaps. Join this session to learn how asset intelligence and the emerging Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM) category improves security hygiene, reduces manual work, and remediates gaps.

SANS: How to Address Cognitive Biases in Information Security
Barrett Darnell, CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR, SANS Institute
Cognitive biases are mental shortcuts that allow us to make decisions and judgments quickly, but they can also lead to errors in judgment and decision-making. These biases can have significant consequences in the field of information security, as they can lead to a lack of critical thinking and a failure to properly assess risks and vulnerabilities. Join this session to understand how security teams can test assumptions and help identify these cognitive biases in play and strengthen their decision-making process.
