Technical and Business Sessions
Have an interest in a specific security topic? We’ve got you covered with well over 100 security-related sessions this year. Here are a few of the highlights:
Considerations for Securing the IoT
Monday, Jun 26, 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.
Billions of devices are coming online – but they are often not well-protected by today’s security stack. We’ll take a look at how we must call on an architectural approach to gain visibility and control of connected devices for defense capabilities specifically designed mitigate risks from threats directed at IoT.
Talos Insights: The State of Cyber Security
Thursday, Jun 29, 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.
Cisco’s Talos team specializes in early-warning intelligence and threat analysis necessary for maintaining a secure network. People responsible for defending networks realize that the security threat landscape is constantly in flux as attackers evolve their skills. Talos advances the overall efficacy of all Cisco security platforms by aggregating data, cooperating with teams of security experts, and applying the cutting-edge big data technology to security. In this talk we will perform deep analysis of recent threats and see how Talos leverages large datasets to deliver product improvements and mitigation strategies.
How to secure your digital network with Cisco Enterprise Network Security
Monday, Jun 26, 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Digital transformation is demanding change at an unprecedented pace, putting extraordinary pressure on the network and increasing the need for advanced security. In this session, we will provide an overview of the Cisco Enterprise Network Security portfolio
Deploying AMP for Endpoints to the Enterprise
Sunday, June 25, 8:00 am – 12:00 pm
Session participants will learn about the AMP dashboard and navigation, how to configure outbreak control, endpoint policies, and managing computers and groups for deployment. Finally, the session will demonstrate event monitoring and analysis, device and file trajectory and reporting options.
Incident Response
Monday, Jun 26, 4:15 p.m. – 4:45 p.m.
When an organization is breached, incident response becomes the first action needed to figure out what happened and how the adversary succeeded. In this session, you’ll learn the differences between an incident response retainer service vs emergency incident response engagement, and all the aspects that are part of providing incident response, and what you can expect from a professional services partner.
Next Generation Security Services
Tuesday, Jun 27, 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.
With the market rapidly evolving toward digitization, Cisco is capturing extraordinary insights into the next generation of security. Even though security is the foundation for innovation and growth in the new digital environment, organizations are struggling to anticipate and respond to new threats due to complex and fragmented networks, and lack the ability to adapt with agility to changing business models. As the #1 cybersecurity company, Cisco Services is a digital partner by your side, and we position you to anticipate change and move forward quickly. In this session, we will cover the trends as seen, end-to-end, by Cisco security experts, examine real examples of the current threat landscape, and the impact to security operations.
Detect threats in encrypted traffic without decryption, using network based security analytics
Tuesday, Jun 27, 8:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m.
Cisco’s network architecture provides a perfect platform for security focused network telemetry and analytics that can detect an in-progress attack (even when encrypted) and rapidly trigger policy driven remediation to mitigate the attack. This talk will describe network security solutions including innovations at the ASIC level that enable the software and security analytics.
Deciphering Malware’s Use of TLS (without Decryption)
Thursday, Jun 29, 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
The use of encryption by malware poses new challenges to network threat detection because traditional pattern-matching techniques can no longer be applied to its messages. We address this problem in two parts and present a set of academic results on tens-of-millions of real-world, TLS encrypted flows demonstrating the efficacy of our approach.
Understanding Encrypted Traffic Using “Joy” for Monitoring and Forensics
Tuesday 6/27 11:00am-11:45am | Wednesday 6/28 12:00PM-12:45PM
The “Joy” open source package can track network flows and report on data features beyond those in Netflow, such as the distribution of bytes, the entropy, and the sequence of packet lengths and arrival times, as well as detailed information from TLS headers. With this data, we can better detect and understand encrypted traffic.
Privacy Scoping workshop
Monday, Jun 26, 2:00 p.m. – 2:45 p.m. | Tuesday, Jun 27, 2:00 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.
With the on-going focus on personal data via compliance, company policy, and end user expectations, this interactive session explores privacy engineering and demonstrate how to scope privacy and data protection requirements for any product, process, application, or system.
Targeted Threat (APT) Defense for Applications Featuring pxGrid
Monday, Jun 26, 1:00 p.m. – 1:45 p.m.
Targeted Attacks, which the media refers to as APTs, are threats that must be addressed by any organization requiring networked computers to do business. In this session we will go over the run book techniques used by these threat actors and then go over concepts and techniques that developers of network applications need to be aware of to mitigate those style of attacks.
Protecting the Device – Cisco Trustworthy Systems & Embedded Security

With the increase in the sophistication in cyber-attacks, there is a growing threat of malware and tampering with the network infrastructure. Companies are increasingly concerned with the integrity and security of their equipment. This session provides an overview of the defenses that Cisco builds into the IOS operating system and hardware to protect the device. Attendees will learn how Cisco provides anti-counterfeiting measures, and how platform integrity can impact your security architecture.
