IoT Lockdown

In this special fireside chat, IOActive Labs Chief Technology Officer Cesar Cerrudo joins SecurityWeek's Ryan Naraine to discuss the state of security in industrial IoT and technologies that power smart cities globally.

The session will deliver on messages around ICS/SCADA, smart cities, industrial IoT security implications and the future of attacks in the robotics space. Formerly the founder and CEO of Argeniss Consulting -- which was acquired by IOActive -- Cesar is a world-renowned security researcher and specialist in IoT and application security.

Security is one of the most dynamic and impactful landscapes in the regulatory sphere, and proposed initiatives and standards in IoT security are shaping the industry at a breakneck pace, on a global scale. With the potential for marked impact to the researcher community, this evolving landscape also serves as an opportunity for technology innovation and collaboration. This talk, presented through the lens of a policy expert and an IoT security architect, will introduce the audience to a variety of regulatory concepts and baseline proposals shaping the future of IoT security. We’ll focus on recent trends including: NISTIR 8259, C2, international standards, supply chain transparency, researchers’ collaboration, proposed legislation, Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure, and the innovative, technical capabilities that can support and enhance development from the foundations up.

Speakers:

- Dr. Amit Elazari: Director, Global Cybersecurity Policy, Intel Corporation
- Anahit Tarkhanyan - Platform Architect, Intel Corporation

Over the last several years, there’s been some debate about the actual number of connected devices on the planet. Up to 50 billion here in 2021 by some estimates. And while all these connected devices are helping to deliver operational efficiencies and productivity gains to the businesses that deploy them, one thing that has not been given enough attention is how to secure them. Join this session to learn about the expanded threat landscape associated with unmanaged and IoT devices that can be exploited by vulnerabilities such as URGENT/11 and CDPwn and how you can be prepared to find and remediate such risks.

Christopher Dobrec - VP Product Marketing, Armis

With companies forced to accelerate their digital journeys seemingly overnight, securing IoT systems and devices have never been more critical. Learn why blockchain is a key component for securing IoT devices, protecting systems from cyberattacks and disrupting outdated business models in rapidly changing IoT ecosystems.

Speakers:
- Seema Haji: Area VP, Head of Platform and Industry Marketing, Splunk
- Nate McKervey: Head of Blockchain and DLT, Splunk

Among rapidly evolving technological advancements, the emergence of AI-enhanced malware is making cyber-attacks exponentially more dangerous and harder to identify. In the near future, we will begin to see supercharged, AI-powered cyber-attacks leveraged at scale. To protect against Offensive AI attacks, organizations are turning to defensive cyber AI, which can identify and neutralize emerging malicious activity, no matter when, or where, it strikes.

For Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and enterprise network defenders, the biggest nightmare is trying to protect what you cannot see. User-initiated "shadow IT" is one of those high-friction problem areas where organizations have expanded the use of IT systems, devices, software, applications, and services without explicit IT department approval.

With the adoption of cloud-based apps and platform-as-a-service expanding attack surfaces, CISOs must now pay close attention to "shadow IoT," the proliferation of devices on a network that can introduce serious security risks to an organization through data leaks, ransomware infections and potential compliance violations.

This distinguished panel of CISOs will share lessons learned and best practices to managing these prickly issues.

Moderator: Lenny Zeltser - CISO, Axonius

Panelists: Chris Castaldo - CISO, Crossbeam; Sounil Yu, CISO-in-Residence, YL Ventures; Steve Mancini - CISO at Eclypsium

With millions of internet-connected devices improving government services and increasing efficiency, cities are getting smarter. Unfortunately, so are the cyber-criminals targeting them. Join this session to learn how artificial intelligence can detect and respond to threats across complex and diverse digital environments.
