Cyber First-Aid: First Steps in Dealing with a Cyber Attack

Session Description:

Most organizations constantly have their defences tested by adversaries focused on gaining access to systems and data. While prevention and detection are key aspects of cyber security, knowing the steps to take in response to a "breach" (an attacker gaining access to data or systems) is important. In the session, we will make recommendations about how to prepare for the most common cyber-attacks scenarios, with a specific focus on what to do in the first 30 minutes of a cyber event.

Multi-Factor Authentication: Reasons why you need to use it

Session Description:

In today's cloud heavy world, the username and password "lock and key" is just not sufficient anymore. Users often reuse weak passwords across multiple accounts or are tricked into giving up their password by clever phishing email or fraud. MFA adds another layer of protection to your organization's accounts.

In this session, we will talk about what MFA is and how it can protect your organization, as well as some tips to bring resistant employees on board.
