Steve Rivers
Develop Your Spear Phishing Investigation Skills
Spear phishing emails contain a wealth of hidden evidence that can be used to track and understand the methods used by attackers to target an organization. By extracting that information, analysts can better understand what to look for to identify other users that may also have been caught.A threat Intelligence platform can assist analysts to discover associations between multiple spear phishing messages. This helps determine if a wider campaign is underway. In this webinar we will show you how to compare indicators from an email against the data in the threat library and determine the associated risk, thus allowing prioritization and noise reduction. You will also learn:
- How to ingest suspicious email, extract information and then perform initial analysis
- Advanced investigation techniques (including leveraging MITRE ATT&CK)
Steve has over twenty years of experience in client facing roles throughout Europe, North America and Asia. He works closely with regional teams to drive international sales efforts. He is responsible for engaging with customers, providing technical oversight and ensuring that prospects, customers and partners achieve success with the ThreatQ platform.

Bartosz Kryński
CyberArk PAM Blueprint – How to Integrate Complete Privileged Accounts Security Program Into General IT Security Strategy
Privileged access management (PAM) is top of mind for today’s security and IT leaders. External attackers and malicious insiders routinely exploit privileged accounts to steal confidential information or disrupt business-critical applications and services. Businesses must strengthen privileged access security, but implementing an effective privileged access management program is a challenge for many organizations as the privileged threat landscape is large, complex and continuously evolving. Based upon decades of experience with thousands of customers worldwide, CyberArk has developed a risk-based PAM program maturity model called “The CyberArk Blueprint,” which offers prescriptive, easy-to-follow advice on how to achieve measurable and progressive results that reduce privilege-related risk, advance cyber security programs and enable business priorities. A successful PAM program involves a proactive, phased approach that begins with rapid risk reduction and has a process in place to address the common attack patterns involved with privileged credential compromise including:- credential theft
- lateral movement
- privilege escalation and abuse

Cloud Security: The 360º Shared Responsibility Model
- Cloud Security is a shared responsibility. Though the Cloud Service Provider delivers important elements of security; the business, IT department and users also have their responsibility to ensure full security is delivered. This presentation uses real-life examples to illustrate the areas that are the responsibility of the business, IT and users to provide a set of ideas and a model to check your own security and compliance within cloud computing.
- Cloud providers deliver low-level security (such as connectivity, power, OS patching)
- The Enterprise is responsible for mid-level (data classification, access control, user identity)
- Users are responsible to use the service securely (data sharing, collaboration)
- Hear more details and how to discuss with all departments to build your own standards and policies
From working with an Apple distributor in 1980, Nigel has over 30 years experience of computers, security, networking and mobility. He has a strong technical background, with roles in pre-sales and post-sales support and product management before technology marketing. His international knowledge started in 1987 and he has presented at security, privacy, e-commerce and networking conferences in over 50 countries. He has written the book “GDPR: An action Guide for IT” and speaks and writes regularly on data protection regulations and user privacy. He has also contributed to a number of computing books on network protocols and security, written many articles and lived in California for a number of years before relocating back to the UK as he was missing the rain! His experience has mirrored many of the most innovative areas of computing; Apple & IBM PCs in the 1980s, storage & networking in the 1990s, Internet performance & web security in the 2000s and mobility & cloud enablement in the 2010s.
