Today, agencies are striving to improve their application security programs, while at the same time, not slowing down the development, delivery, and deployment of their software applications. Can a balance be achieved between security and an organization’s (or agency’s) daily business requirements? We know it’s possible.

​The Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act (including the OPEN Government Data Act) created new data governance dynamics within agencies by requiring agencies to designate the Statistical Officials, the Evaluation Officers, and the Chief Data Officers. These three officials are responsible for the best practices that support the maturity of an agency's use of data. The U.S. Department of Education (ED) built a data-centric culture and is working to expand the use of data stewardship across the agency. 

Cybersecurity breaches are an unfortunate reality for all industries, with ransomware increasingly the go-to mode of attack for cybercriminals. But K-12 schools are disproportionately affected by cybercrime. More than 500 K-12 schools were victimized by ransomware in 2019 alone. Why do cybercriminals focus on school districts? What is it about K-12 education that makes these entities such attractive targets?

Live Panel Discussion and Q&A | Avoid Downtime and Resolve Issues Sooner with CIS Guidance​

The need for increasing levels of software security is becoming even more apparent as organizations migrate applications to the Cloud and adopt DevSecOps as part of their software development and operational processes. During this panel discussion, you will hear from todays’ top industry leaders including Dr. Ross from NIST who will highlight the latest security guidance under NIST SP 800-53, Rev. 5, and the role security plays as organizations migrate applications to the Cloud and embrace DevSecOps. Experts will explore one of the new security controls outlined in NIST SP 800-53, Rev.

​Artificial intelligence, machine learning, applied at the edge are driving a new generation of intelligent applications. Data generated from billions of IoT devices and sensors must be processed very quickly at the edge to derive real-time insights, and help achieve key mission goals and objectives like saving lives, providing tactical advantage, saving costs, improving security and safety, etc. How can you operationalize these innovative technologies and optimize the capabilities? Join experts from Nvidia, HPE and Red Hat as we dive into AI/ML and data science at the edge.

The impact of security misconfiguration hasn’t changed because of Covid-19 pandemic so much as it’s been magnified. The top three misconfigurations that cause data breaches continue to be: Failing to remove unused access permissions Setting up incorrect access through misconfigured zones and subnets Creating overly permissive rules And there’s plenty more. Be prepared!
