Keynote - State of Cybersecurity
In 2024, the cybersecurity landscape faces escalating threats from sophisticated attacks, ransomware, phishing, and supply chain vulnerabilities. The incorporation of AI and ML boosts both defensive and offensive capabilities, advancing threat detection and attack strategies. The prevalent use of cloud services calls for heightened security measures, while regulatory bodies continue to implement and enforce stricter cybersecurity laws. Organizations are increasingly implementing controls to lessen risk and increase threat visibility. Enhanced public-private partnerships and international collaborations are crucial for sharing information and coordinating responses to mitigate global cyber threats.

Strategic Cybersecurity Layers: A Proactive Defense Blueprint
Cybersecurity relies on a layered approach to protect digital assets effectively. These layers include network security, application security, endpoint security, and user awareness, collectively forming a comprehensive defense against various threats. Network security focuses on safeguarding data transmission, application security secures software, endpoint security protects individual devices, and user awareness educates individuals on safe online practices. The combination of these layers aims to create a resilient security infrastructure.
Organizations can ensure resiliency through proactive measures such as constant security assessments, continuous testing, and incident response planning. These practices help identify vulnerabilities, evaluate potential threats, and implement strategies to mitigate risks. By continuously monitoring and improving their security posture, organizations can better protect their assets and maintain operational integrity.

Securing Your Landscape: Mastering Defender Bundles
Leveraging Microsoft licensing can be challenging. Let’s improve security by utilizing Microsoft Defender product suites that are included in common bundles. See some examples where HBS can help determine the best bundles and offer recommendations to maximize products while reducing overall cost. This presentation will outline common Microsoft bundles and their security components. Then walkthrough real world examples of situations detected by these products.
