Expert Roundtable: Data Security, Trust, and Privacy for Analytics in the Cloud (June 8th)
Thursday, June 8th, 2023: 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
Guarding against unauthorized access to sensitive corporate data is a priority, whether your organization is engaged in a cloud-oriented digital transformation effort, a data architecture modernization imitative, or is cloud-native from the get-go. Yet data volumes continue to explode, and enterprise data landscapes are becoming increasingly distributed. Ensuring compliance with data policies governing accessibility to sensitive data is increasingly complex. Without instituting the right tools, processes, and practices, data protection becomes unscalable and ultimately unsustainable.

There are ways to alleviate the anxiety of data security, trust, and privacy in the cloud. In this roundtable discussion, our panelists will share their experiences, discuss best practices for integrating technology solutions, and offer guidance for establishing a sustainable information risk program for ensuring the governed accessibility to sensitive corporate data.

DARKReading: Anatomy Of A Data Breach: And What To Do If It Happens To You (June 22nd)
Thursday, June 22nd, 2023: 11:00 PM to 5:00 PM ET
As the saying goes, it's not a matter of 'if' your organization will suffer a cyberattack: it's a matter of 'when.' That conventional wisdom amid today's complicated and active threat landscape may seem overwhelming, but knowing the most common vulnerabilities and oversights that threat actors typically abuse - as well as the best practices for responding to a security incident -- can make all the difference in protecting your sensitive data from an attacker who has made their way into your network. Is your organization ready to respond when a cyber attacker intrudes?

This free, one-day online conference in Q2 2023, produced by the editors of Dark Reading, offers a look at some of the most common vulnerabilities that lead to enterprise data breaches, as well as the latest tools and best practices for incident response.

ITProToday: Give Your Databases the Protection to Stand Up to Any Threat (May 30th)
Tuesday, May 30th, 2023: 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
As we've heard from prominent security experts in the past, there are only two types of companies. Those who have been hacked and those who don't yet know that they have been hacked. With attacks continuing to rise with no end in sight, adopting a defense-in-depth security approach has become a staple for many organizations. Unfortunately, this isn't enough. Human error is unavoidable, and no matter how many layers we add, bad actors are still finding their way in. Security must start at the point of data, and that means following Zero Trust principles that keep your data protected throughout its entire lifecycle.
