Delving into Digital Fraud – Report Reveals Trends
2:00pm – 2:30pm ET
Digital transformation is making it easier not only for legitimate organizations to expand their
reach but also for fraudsters and other bad actors to expand theirs. Hear the results of a research
study into the digital developments, market forces and regulatory pressures that are driving this
shift in how fraudsters and others commit their crimes, as well as how anti-fraud forces fight them.
The session will cover three key trends gleaned from this research and provide an understanding of
how digital transformation becomes both a critical contributing factor in the problem of growing
cyber risks today.

Data Protection for the Work-From-Home Era
2:30pm – 3:30pm ET
Remember five or more years ago you were scoffing at the people who said the perimeter was gone?
Well, now (almost) all your employees work from home, and guess what? Your “perimeter” encloses
almost none of where your work gets done. So today we’ll have a survey of methods to protect data
that don’t assume or require a perimeter in the traditional sense. DLP, DRM, and Cloud approaches
that keep data movement controlled but flexible.

Topic: Accelerating and Securing Applications at the Edge
Presentation Summary:
In today’s digital economy, the underlying applications and workflows that power organizations must be agile, secure and perform in an optimal manner. As workloads and data move closer to end users, development teams battle legacy infrastructures that are inflexible and unable to scale – slowing down innovation, constricting development cycles and reducing application security and performance. To accelerate and secure modern web experiences, we must rethink how we deploy end-to-end application defenses, ensuring availability and application layer security. Learn how containerized environments can be service-chained to build out a multilayered security policy, giving organizations the flexibility to customize security stacks across best-in-breed WAF, bot management and API protection solutions while delivering policies tailored to individual workflows.
