An epic 1-day virtual event
geared toward helping admins, MSPs, and IT leaders secure the most challenging devices and users in their environments
Old foundations are crumbling. Humanity and its devices have been flung far outside the relative safety of perimeters. Charletons prey on fear and peddle magic solutions while opportunistic enemies gather strength. And yet, lights still shine in the darkness.
Even now, bold bands of heroes are gathering to confront the challenges of this new world and forge order from chaos. Will you join them?
Fresh tactics, practical expertise and amazing loot await...!

Wisdom Check: Security Fundamentals, Revisited
If best practices were actually easy to implement we wouldn’t be here right now. The truth is there are many times when applying the “basics” is anything but. In this session, we’ll provide fresh takes on tired but timeless best practices — think adopting MFA/SAML/SSO, removing local admin, disabling macros, securing RDP, etc. — by digging into real-world implementation obstacles and acknowledging this stuff can be HARD.

Critical Hit and Miss: Configuration & Alert Handling Mistakes

In this session we’ll highlight some of the biggest mistakes that make tools less effective and, in some cases, even major liabilities. We’ll also provide tips for fighting alert fatigue and burnout by ensuring that we’re leveling up the right stats with people and processes, too.

Saving Throw: Demystifying Incident Response & Cyber Insurance
Attacks are going to land. You’re going to take damage. The question is: How resilient is your party? What allies will you be able to summon at a moment’s notice, and what crucial tactics, knowledge, and artifacts will you be able to conjure up when you need them most? In this session, we’ll walk through what the incident response process actually looks like, the roles insurance providers and external IR providers play, and what steps you can take now to ensure you’re better prepared, resilient, and incident-ready.

Player’s Handbook: Automating Secure Onboarding & Offboarding
Any time you add or remove members from your party there's inherent risk involved. What if you miss an important configuration, add the wrong permissions, or forget to remove access to everything you should? SOPs are your friends, but so is automation. In this session, we'll walk through real-world examples and workflows IT pros are using to ensure onboarding and offboarding is done right each time, every time, and at scale.

Cursed Legacy: Tackling Technical Debt
Every organization has skeletons in the closet. The ancient LOB software that’s no longer supported. Systems in the dark abyss still running on Windows 7, XP, and Server 2003/08. Rather than simply pounding the “update” drum, let’s walk through how to properly mitigate, isolate, and approach these complex sh*tshows. But wait, everything is on fire, too.

Workshop: Zero-Day Patching Campaign
Hark. We’ve received dark tidings of a critical new vulnerability under active exploitation. All systems need to be patched now, and without breaking anything. That’s easy, right? Right? In this session, we’ll draw from the lessons learned from recent high-profile cases like Log4j, PrintNightmare, etc. so we can be better prepared to act quickly and effectively the next time we’re charged with defending against a major new attack of opportunity.
