'Securing the Everything' Cybersecurity Conference set for Nov. 3

The 2021 AT&T Security Conference is will take place Wednesday, Nov. 3. The event is expected to include top cybersecurity experts. 

It is a free, online event, with more than 30 sessions to choose from. Keynote speakers include National Cyber Director Chris Inglis, NSA Cybersecurity Director Rob Joyce and CNN anchor and chief national security correspondent Jim Sciutto.

Several trends are increasing today’s cybersecurity threat level:

  • Information infrastructure is getting more complex, making it harder to patch and configure.
  • Criminals can exploit these vulnerabilities because ID and access management aren’t keeping pace.
  • Digital currency is letting criminals collect ransoms from anywhere – and organizations are paying.

As the chief security officer for AT&T, Bill O'Hern said he has a unique view about helping to protect all of the technology giant's businesses and a global network that carries more than 465 petabytes of data traffic on an average day. He said AT&T's cybersecurity team works from 10 countries and 34 states, and holds more than 1,000 security-related patents.

Here is some of what our experts will be talking about:

  • What makes good open-source software, how to test it for security, and how to keep it running safely.
  • Quantum computing: Friend or foe for security?
  • Making a seven-layer vulnerability management salad.
  • Automating cloud security compliance.
  • Defending authentication from phishing attacks.
  • Key legal topics for incident preparedness and response.
  • Specific security sessions on 5G, connected cars, ad tech and more.
