  • Zac Streelman, Manager, Information Technology at Leupold and Stevens was looking for a disaster recovery (DR) solution that would extend the flexibility of virtualization to his DR environment. The solution had to deliver enterprise-class support for his mission critical applications: Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and SharePoint and various CAD programs. The board of directors was specifically asking what the current solution was and what service levels could the infrastructure deliver.
    Zerto Virtual Replication installed seamlessly into their existing infrastructure, did not require any data center updates and is fully integrated into VMware vCenter.

    With Zerto Virtual Replication he was able to:
    - Realize very aggressive service levels – recovery point objectives of seconds and recovery time objectives of minutes
    - Deliver a better ROI with a DR solution that is hardware agnostic
    - Increase team productivity with a very simple solution
    - Quickly cross-train additional staff on DR processes and procedures
    - Optimize flexibility as changes to the environment required changes to the DR strategy
    - Test and validate the DR failover process without taking primary production systems offline

  • Defending Against Persistent Attackers: The Need for Incident Response 360° Recorded: Apr 9 2013 40 mins
    Every day nation-states and other cyber-adversaries are targeting organizations to access confidential information. Adaptive, persistent cybercriminals easily circumvent traditional security methods such as signatures that require previous knowledge of the attack. Organizations need to detect both known and unknown malware and the attackers’ tactics, techniques and procedures to respond on their own – without using expensive consulting services.

    Join McAfee and HBGary to learn how your organization can provide continuous response to the latest cyberthreats affecting your business environment. Topics will include how to:

  • Security Intelligence Meets Vulnerability Management Recorded: Mar 26 2013 27 mins
    We’ve all heard about the “evolving threat landscape.” In biology, evolution is a process that occurs over millions of years as a result of small changes in successive generations. Mutations, on the other hand, are sudden, sometimes spontaneous occurrences, and the changes are often dramatic and harmful.

    McAfee and CORE Security are working together to transform security intelligence and vulnerability management. In this webcast, McAfee and CORE will:

    • Review the evolution of traditional vulnerability management solutions
    • Examine the mutating threat landscape
    • Describe how to achieve greater security situational awareness

  • Securing the UK Public Sector with Least Privilege Recorded: Dec 14 2012 51 mins
    Growing concerns within the public sector stem from how to manage the security of data and protect the enterprise while ensuring user productivity and experience. Historically, many public sector organisations have enabled privileged accounts to meet specific user needs. As a result users with admin rights expose the business to malware risk, compliance litigation, and increased operational costs.

    This session discusses the hidden internal dangers of users with admin rights and offers an integrated approach to solving the security concerns of the UK’s Public Sector bodies. During the webcast we’ll illustrate:

    • How least privilege is being used to increase security, operational effectiveness and adhere to compliance within NHS, local government, defence, and education

  • Complete Vulnerability Management from McAfee and RedSeal Recorded: Nov 6 2012 45 mins
    Most large enterprises identify thousands of vulnerabilities every time they conduct a vulnerability assessment. But scanning for vulnerabilities is only the first step—figuring out which vulnerabilities truly matter is the subsequent challenge.

    • Is critical financial information at risk because a vulnerability is exposed to the Internet or extranet?
    • Has a vulnerability already been effectively mitigated with network-level controls?
    • Do vulnerabilities in minor systems allow a hacker to leapfrog to more critical systems?

    Join McAfee and RedSeal for an informative webcast to learn why prioritizing remediation efforts according to risk is essential to effective vulnerability management and how the RedSeal Vulnerability Advisor software integrates and analyzes the vulnerability information collected by McAfee’s Vulnerability Manager to give organizations true insight into their vulnerability risk.
  • How to Regain Control of the Network Perimeter – A Comprehensive Solution Recorded: Oct 16 2012 31 mins
    Firewalls are the first line of defense for critical enterprise network and endpoint assets. But two challenges reduce the effectiveness of the traditional firewall: (1) The eroding network perimeter brought on by an increasingly remote workforce, virtualization, BYOD, and targeted attacks; (2) Firewall misconfigurations, which according to Gartner account for 95% of firewall breaches (as opposed to firewall flaws).

    Join McAfee and AlgoSec to learn how to regain control of the perimeter and achieve high assurance that critical assets are secured, including:

    • How to improve visibility of your network security policy – and what it’s actually doing!

  • Create a Competitive Advantage Using SaaS and Identity Recorded: Sep 26 2012 55 mins
    Beverly Hills Wealth Management (BHWM) is a boutique investment advisory firm started by a team of Wall Street veterans. They wanted to create a cutting edge investment advisory practice, but wanted to avoid the cumbersome, proprietary systems used by traditional Wall Street firms.

    John Stuart—CIO at BHWM—and his colleagues decided to leverage the power and flexibility of the cloud to create a virtualized, dynamic investment advisory solution that would allow them to deliver a wide range of services to individuals with high net worth, without making a huge capital investment in hardware, software, and professional services.

    They quickly realized they needed an identity and access management infrastructure that would maximize productivity and ensure a high level of protection for the sensitive, personal information their applications store.

    In this webinar, you’ll learn:

Savvy criminals employ PUPs that use data-hiding techniques, including steganography, facilitating stealthy exfiltration from the enterprise.

    In this webinar, you’ll learn how McAfee and Allen Corporation’s cyber security division, WetStone Technologies, are working to:

    • Provide a joint McAfee-Allen solution that detects and blocks the execution of PUPs particularly relevant to insider attacks.
    • Enable digital investigators to search for evidence in data breach incident investigations, revealing the use of these malicious data-hiding tools.
    • Leverage McAfee endpoint software to pre-empt such dangerous software from executing.
  • Securely Embracing the Cloud: From Data Security through Identity Management Recorded: Sep 18 2012 32 mins
    Organizations are concerned about how to protect data and manage access on the cloud. The data that is pushed to the cloud needs to be reported on; where is my data, who was on it, what they did, etc. There are also many different clouds that are password protected including the public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid cloud. How can I use the same password across all types of the cloud? The cloud can be embraced by centralizing cloud sign in services and encompassing all clouds into one.

    This webcast proposes best practices for:
    • Learning how to protect data and manage access on the cloud
    • Enabling could reporting so activity in the cloud can be viewed
    • Maximizing security by centralizing different cloud spaces into one secure cloud
