DAY 2: Thursday 8 November 2018
9AM: Keynote presentation by Palo Alto Networks
Disrupting the cybersecurity status quo
Disrupting the Cybersecurity Status Quo", acknowledges the rapid pace of change in cybersecurity in recent years and the readiness and need for market disruption. In a digital world where adversaries take advantage of increasingly affordable technologies and leverage automation, we’ve seen, in response, an explosion of cybersecurity product innovation to counteract attacks. A big challenge for enterprises constrained with a lack of skills, resources and budgets is that accelerating innovation in cybersecurity creates a paradox that makes the consumption and usability of that innovation more difficult.
What do we need to ease the consumption and use of cybersecurity innovation?
Disruption!
Join us to discover how Palo Alto Networks is leading the way in that disruption, and how your business will benefit.

DAY 3: Friday 9 November
9 AM: Keynote presentation by Anomali
Attackers are evolving - are your defenders?
As attackers improve their ability to target and infiltrate organizations, defenders are forced to evolve in response. The adversary is becoming more stealthy, developing new techniques to evade traditional defenses. Fortunately, defenders are just as dynamic in their defenses. In this talk, I will discuss the history of this ongoing struggle and provide a glimpse into the next evolution of defender techniques - the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
Justin Swisher, Security Strategy Manager – Anomali
Justin Swisher is a Security Strategy Manager at Anomali. Building on more than twelve years of IT security experience with an emphasis in network security architecture and monitoring, Mr. Swisher has worked to develop new techniques to improve detection and threat hunting. After spending four years with the Air Force as an intelligence analyst, Mr. Swisher brought those analytical skills to leading cybersecurity vendors in an effort to improve network security detection and response.
4 PM - 4:45 PM Closing Conference by Paul Berriff OBE
9/11 - A First-Hand Experience
BAFTA winning documentary maker, photographer and film director Paul Berriff has produced over 180 prime time major network television documentary films. In 2017 he was awarded the Guild of Television Cameramen Award for Continued Excellence in Cinematography. Paul was in New York on 9/11, filming with the FDNY’s Deputy Chief Fire Commissioner at the World Trade Center when both the twin towers collapsed on top of him; he was knocked to the ground and lay unconscious for 25 minutes before crawling out of the debris. Of the 22 people he was with, only 4 survived. His camera was smashed but his tape was recovered. His iconic sequence of the south tower collapsing became the most powerful image recorded on the day. This is his story of that day.
