What else is on the Agenda?

Integrity360 speakers will include our CTO Richard Ford, Head of Product Management, Brian Martin and Director of Solution Architecture Nick Brownrigg.

Brian will be discussing the latest cloud trends and their impact on cyber security, including developments across public and private cloud and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), the impact of security tools and platforms migrating to cloud, and cloud security in the modern hybrid working world.

Nick, will deliver a fascinating talk on why the concept of identifying threats is being neglected. This session will explore modern-day exposure management, how the market has predominantly focused on detection and recovery, and how technology can be used to proactively identify cyber threats. 

Finally, Richard will cover one of the vital elements of cybersecurity; visibility. He will explain how it is vital for detecting threat activity and will look at how you can gain the threat visibility you need pre, peri & post incident, the technology innovations to take advantage of and, importantly, the processes needed to embed effective threat monitoring, detection and response within your organisation.

We’ll have a variety of panel discussions that cover customer challenges around threat detection and incorporate the different experiences and views from Darktrace, Rapid7 and XM Cyber together with our Deputy CTO, Josh Uddin.

Patrick Wragg, our very own Cyber Threat Response Manager will share first-hand experiences from the frontline and how ransomware has evolved. Not only in the way it impacts and extorts organisations but also in the methods used to become the super-threat it is today.

Several industry leaders, as well as Integrity360 partners, will also be speaking at the conference – including our Platinum sponsors Varonis and Checkpoint.

Other sponsors include: Splunk, Mimecast Zscaler, Fortinet Vectra, Armis, Gytpol and Claroty

These sessions will touch on topics such as how to gain data visibility and the benefits of Managed Detection and Response.
