Session: Trust me, this is how you fail...
Description: During this session Dr Chase Cunningham will provide an analysis on past cyber security insider events and detail how the most critical factor of those failures was trust.

Jason Mical | Field CTO @ Rapid7
Session: The Great Resignation:Where is your data going when your people leave, and how do you manage it?
Description: Insider threats, or attacks against a company from within, are a pressing issue both domestically and internationally. Frequencies of these threats increase each year adding to the overall importance of ensuring the proper processes and technology is in place. In fact, these employees who participate in insider attacks tend to exhibit certain personality and characteristic traits, as well as certain observable behaviors, that would indicate that an attack or compromise is imminent. It is critical that companies need to be able to take a more preventative stance of security as opposed to a reactive stance by identifying these characteristics and behaviors, as well as the motivations that drive them. To accomplish this task, companies must implement multiple layers of technological means of security to be successful. In this session we will discuss some of these behaviors to watch for as well as how Code42 and Rapid7 can enable organizations to effectively take the preventative stances.
