09:00 AM – 10:00 AM | MFX109E: Data-Centric Security and Compliance: Enhancing Data Privacy With CA Data Content Discovery for z/OS Breakers F
The first step in any data-centric security strategy is identifying where your sensitive data resides. After all, you can’t protect your data if you don’t know where it is. This session will explore how you can find sensitive and regulated mainframe data that may be lost, hidden or abandoned as well as automatically classify discovered data based on sensitivity level for compliance with the industry-first innovation of CA Data Content Discovery for z/OS. Topics will include defining scan criteria to simplify the identification of sensitive data, best practices for creating classifiers and insights to enhance data privacy and simplify regulatory compliance. |
10:00 AM – 11:00 AM | DO1X118E: CA Microgateway: Microservice API Access Control Lagoon E
Using microservices has become a popular way to develop distributed software systems. Unfortunately, security is often an afterthought, including access controls for Web APIs. A number of security mechanisms—some borrowed from previous software architectures and some new—have been tried in order to address different pieces of the access control puzzle. This has resulted in a disjointed assortment of approaches. In this session, Rob Wilson will review the pros and cons of current approaches and discuss a proposed unified, multi-platform approach to API access control in a microservice architecture. |
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM | DO1X107E: CA Mobile API Gateway: Enhancing Your Mobile App Security Lagoon E
Learn about the latest features of CA Mobile API Gateway and the mobile SDK and how they can help increase the security of your mobile solution. We’ll dive deep into the core of the SDK and help you understand all the security mechanisms and standards it brings out of box to ensure your solution is protected. |
02:00 PM – 03:00 PM | DO1X110E: CA API Developer Portal: Setting Up a Private Cloud Portal Lagoon E
This session will cover how to deliver a private cloud or on-premises version of CA API Developer Portal, and how to provide migration guidance for CA API Developer Portal 2.x or 3.x “Classic” customers. |
03:00 PM – 04:00 PM | DO1X111E: CA API Developer Portal: Increase App Developer Velocity with the Portal Dev Console Lagoon E
CA API Developer Portal covers most API publisher use cases, with the publisher “telling” the developer what APIs they have access to via the account plan. This model works well when it comes to managing a set of external partners, but does not lend itself well to the most prevalent use case for portals today: empowering internal development teams. This capability is designed to provide app developers with a new way of finding learning about, requesting access to and consuming the internal or external APIs they require. |

11:30 AM – Noon | SCT31T: Case Study: Risk-Based Authentication for Enterprise – How an Organization Protected Confidential Customer Information Security Tech Talk 10
Cyber Threats continue to evolve year after year and the hackers are getting sophisticated. Most of the breaches that occurred over the past few years involve compromised usernames and passwords. Therefore, it is important to use risk based authentication to analyze the user behavior and present stronger authentication as per transactional risk. We present a case study on how a government entity used risk based authentication as an enterprise solution to protect confidential information of citizens. |

Businesses want smaller and faster deployments that use modern automated processes, but also want to satisfy their complex business cases with the things they deploy. CA Microgateway provides the ability to extend base functionality to build complicated workflows quickly and seamlessly, as well as incorporate those workflows into existing automated processes. In this session, we will demonstrate how easy it is to extend the functionality of the gateway and automatically incorporate it into your environment. |
01:45 PM – 02:15 PM | DO1T52T: CA Microgateway: Secure Your Microservice Environments with CA Microgateway and OAuth DevOps: APIs and Microservices Tech Talk 2
Microservices architecture, widely adopted in the cloud space, has also gained popularity in enterprise IT to empower innovation and scalability. Unlike typical cloud vendors, enterprise IT faces a different set of challenges to microservices adoption, such as application security, organization and infrastructure. CA Microgateway is a new breed of API gateway that enables team autonomy for enterprise developers and provides end-to-end security solutions that are easy to integrate with modern microservices and DevOps infrastructure. In this session, you will learn about building a secure service mesh with optimized APIs using CA Microgateway, including demos of existing and future CA Microgateway capabilities. |

A little over three years ago, the EU Parliament approved the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which goes into effect on May 25, 2018. Any company that maintains personal information for EU citizens is subject to this regulation, regardless of location. Testing teams who use production data for quality assurance should pay close attention to this upcoming deadline. This session will provide a brief overview of GDPR, its implications when using personal data during testing and how your company can implement solutions to avoid getting fined for noncompliance. It will also provide you with a list of numerous resources to help you get started on the path to GDPR compliance.

04:15 PM – 04:45 PM | SCT41T: Testing the Fences: Recent Attacks Are Harbingers of a More Serious Threat Security Tech Talk 11
The recent WannaCry and Petya ransomware attacks culminated in hundreds of hospitals, retail outlets and critical infrastructure being breached. They impacted commerce as well as patient care and innovation. On the surface, the attackers were looking to make a quick buck—asking for money in exchange for encryption keys and data. However, the fact that they did not collect contact information, or even provide encryption keys, suggests that money was not the primary objective. These attacks are a harbinger of what is possible and what we should expect. WannaCry and Petya foreshadow larger and more destructive attacks on our digital infrastructure, and on some of our most important institutions and capabilities. What we learned with Petya is that it wasn’t really ransomware at all—it was a destructive attack aimed at a sovereign nation, disguised as ransomware. Petya, and the use of digital means to attempt to influence our democratic processes, show that the contest of nations has already moved into the digital space and will be fought largely through software. Our adversaries are practicing these new techniques and getting better every day. The ability to create software that can resist these forms of attack and exploit will be crucial to our ability to protect not just applications but the social and political processes that depend on that software. |
