Now the treats are adaptive, they are masquerade inside legitimate traffic; and the attackers have evolved their business models from straight consulting fees to royalties and blackmail.This presentation featuring Dell and its partner Mavenspire will discuss the current state of security, how next generation architectures and products address the next wave of attack vectors, and look at new strategies when addressing/evaluating organizational security models.9:00 - 9:20: Understanding and Preventing DDoS Attacks with Arbor NetworksDistributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks attempt to make an online service unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources. They target a wide variety of important resources, from consumer-facing financial and news websites, to internally-oriented employee intranet links, and present a major challenge in today's cloud-based world to making sure people can access important information and mission-critical applications.Arbor Networks, the security division of NETSCOUT, helps secure the world's largest enterprise and service provider networks from these DDoS attacks and advanced threats. Its advanced threat solution delivers complete network visibility through a combination of packet capture and NetFlow technology, enabling the rapid detection and mitigation of attack campaigns, malware and malicious insiders. Daniel Scarberry, one of their top consulting engineers working on Arbor's Advanced Threat Platform, will be the featured speaker.9:20 - 9:40: The Enterprise Immune System - A New Approach to Cyber Defense with Darktrace
Fast-evolving cyber-threats call for a change in the way we protect our most critical information assets, in a digital world more interconnected than ever. Understand from Darktrace how new self-learning technology, known as the "Enterprise Immune System," marks a fundamental transition in cyber defense, allowing organizations to gain indispensable visibility into their network, and detect emerging cyber-threats that bypass traditional security controls.Thanks to fundamental advances in mathematics and unsupervised machine learning developed at the University of Cambridge, UK, Darktrace's technology is capable of learning what is normal and abnormal within an organization, detecting genuine behavioral anomalies, without using rules or signatures. More than 250 organizations across the world rely on its Enterprise Immune System to defend against novel cyber-threats, including insider threat, and protect themselves in today's changing threat landscape.Beth Lustgarten, one of Darktrace's top cyber security experts, will cover the following subjects during this session: - Learn why "immune system" technologies represent a fundamental innovation for cyber defense - Discover how to apply machine learning and mathematics to detect advanced, internal threats - Understand how to gain 100% network visibility to investigate emerging anomalies in real time - Hear real-world examples of threats detected by the Enterprise Immune System 9:40 - 10:00: Unlock the Key to Repel Ransomware with KasperskyYour screen freezes and a dialogue box pops up to tell you that your computer is locked and your files will all be gone forever if you don't pay up. Since many victims are willing to pay the ransom, this type of cryptomalware is on the rise, netting millions of dollars for cybercriminals looking for a substantial return on their minimal investment.During this session you will hear from Mark Villinski of Kaspersky Lab, on what they as a major security vendor are seeing in this growing area of focus for both security vendors and cybercriminals. Areas of focus will include: - Common ransomware scenarios and delivery mechanisms- Trends in this growing form of cybercrime- Recommendations to help your organization avoid being a victimKaspersky is the world's largest privately held, and among the top four security vendors, operating in 200 countries and protecting 400 million users.10:00 - 10:20: The Need for an Inline Security Fabric from IxiaWhat was once a firewall now also includes a next-gen firewall, web-application firewall (WAF), intrusion detection and prevention system, forensics tools and more. Security tools are purchased to protect your network, but what can be done, to protect these tools?Vendors recommend that enterprises place security tools inline of the traffic flow to inspect live traffic. However, every network architect knows that daisy-chaining a series of tools one after the other creates a mess, if any of them should freeze, reboot and/or require maintenance. So serial inline deployment is dangerous; network traffic would stop in the event that any single tool fails.According to a report from Dimension Data 1, 42% of network incidents are due to hardware failure. A resilient Inline security framework ensures tool failures do not become network failures. During this informative session, you will learn how a basic intelligent inline security architecture includes a high-speed bypass switch and a network packet broker. Rather than going directly to your security tools, the bypass switch acts as a failsafe mechanism between the security tools and the network traffic. Should a tool fail for any reason, the bypass switch is programmable to keep your network traffic flowing.10:20 - 10:40: Evaluating and Rating IT Security Vendors: Insights from Fannie MaeFannie Mae is one of the world's largest financial organizations and the dominant player in the United States' mortgage marketplace. Given that trillions of dollars flow through its operations, IT Security is obviously critically important.During this informative session Karin Moore, Fannie Mae's Manager of Information Security and Systems, will describe its methodology to evaluate 3rd party vendors. Her comments will be both technical and practical, offering great value to her peers in the audience.Coffee/Snack Break, Exhibit Area Open, Peer Networking, Product Demonstrations11:20 - 11:40 Hyperconvergence Data Center/Infrastructure Architecture with SimplivityHyperconvergence is a computing infrastructure for virtual workloads. Specifically, it's one that seamlessly combines all of the IT components and services below the hypervisor into an x86 building block. Hyperconvergence means there are no silos of independent IT components. There's no need to manage discrete devices or have specialized training in component-level technology, such as storage area networks (SANs). Hyperconvergence greatly simplifies IT infrastructure, which makes operations more efficient. It improves the speed and agility of deploying resources for virtual workloads. And, importantly, hyperconvergence significantly reduces costs.SimpliVity's presentation will discuss how organizations of all sizes can implement hyperconvergence within their IT infrastructure.

Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) is commonly highlighted as one of the first steps to successfully implementing the cloud. However, the intricacies involved are unnaturally slowing organizations down as they look to protect varying types of workloads, with differing RPO/RTO objectives, while also exploring how public cloud platforms can provide added benefits. Enter Software Defined DRaaS.Featuring real-life examples, Tierpoint's Matt Tabor will illustrate how Software Defined DRaaS, a managed resilience approach, enables businesses to adopt Hybrid IT while simultaneously maintaining existing technology investments and adopting new innovative ones.12:00 - 12:20: Next Generation Network Monitoring for Virtual/Cloud Environments with ExtrahopThe spread of virtualization, cloud computing, agile development practices, and service-oriented architectures has made traditional monitoring technologies obsolete. A new, simpler approach is needed, to provide visibility into these complex, hyperdynamic environments.In this educational session, ExtraHop will demonstrate how its Operational Intelligence platform meets these requirements, with its "real-time wire data analytics" tracking all L2–L7 communications, including full bidirectional transactional payloads. This innovative approach provides the correlated, cross-tier visibility, which is essential for application performance, availability, and security in today's complex/dynamic IT environments.Extrahop will be raffling off a UDI Drone with HD Camera at the end of the seminar.12:20 - 12:40: Integrated Cloud and Colocation Strategies with ExpedientJason Charlton, a solutions architect, will provide practical recommendations and technical insights on integrating cloud and colocation strategies.
