SSL/TLS public-key encryption is the industry standard for data protection. Its secure encryption protects privileged data in transit. But it also provides cover for bad actors who exploit SSL/TLS to cloak their activities. In addition to protecting corporate data with SSL/TLS encryption, enterprise IT leaders must employ comprehensive SSL/TLS inspection methodologies to mitigate the risks hidden in encrypted traffic. This session examines the risk posed by SSL-encrypted threats; considers the business, legal, and security implications of managing that risk; and provides constructive measures for countering those threats. In the end, the best way for IT leadership to protect their enterprises, is to ensure the rights of the individual employee are respected by protecting their employees, thereby reducing risk of attacks hidden in SSL/TLS to the organisation.

This roundtable intents to discuss what impacts/opportunities the CyberAct has on the Belgian Industry (both users of and suppliers of), especially in context of the growing use of internet connected IoT devices. Indeed, in a world where both the exposure grows due to increase use of IoT-devices as well as the threats (for example recent ransomware-incidents) it becomes more and more vital that any solutions used by, bought by, supplied by… are “certified” providing parties using such devices better reassurance that what they put out there in the field is sufficiently secure. What is the state of play? What will be the impact and/or opportunities for Industry really be?  Come and join the discussions.

On 27 June 2017, A.P. Moller Maersk’s screens went black. … The cyber-attack that hit the container business was initiated by a previously unseen type of malware that destroyed all of Maersk’s Windows computer capability, stopping most operations around the world. In this inspiring session, Maersk CISO, Andy Powell, takes us back to the moment the most devastating cyberattack since the invention of the internet took place. Powell will also share the painful lessons learned which have now enshrined in five principles, relating to organisational resilience, boardroom accountability, and security being a benefit, growth driver, and everyone’s responsibility.

In this session, Ronald Pool will discuss the speed at which adversaries operate and explain how long you really have in order to detect, analyse and mitigate an incident before it becomes a breach. Based on actual breaches, you will also learn some of the attack vectors currently used by adversaries and how to counter them.
