Cyber Security Investment Trends for 2012 & Beyond: Whats Hot/ Whats Not

Bob Ackerman, Ted Schlein, Asheem Chandna, Alberto Ypez
Cybersecurity has moved to the front pages of American's newspapers, the Halls of Congress, the White House and the Board Rooms of major corporations. These dynamics continue to drive the demand for innovative technologies as electronic threats to computer networks and intellectual property have exploded in recent years. With the stakes high, government and corporate customers are stepping up their investments in defensive technologies and preventative measures to secure their digital frontiers.

Global cybersecurity spending is expected to top $60 billion this year according to the Cyber Security M&A Report by PricewaterhouseCoopers. The 172 US critical infrastructure organizations surveyed in a study by Bloomberg Government and the Ponemon Institute said that they currently spend $5.3 billion on cybersecurity and estimated that they would have to spend $46.6 billion over the next 12 to 18 months to reach a level of security where they could stop 95% of cyberattacks. Additionally, the Homeland Security Department would sharply raise spending for cybersecurity under the White House 2013 budget request to $769 million, up from $459 million this year.

In 2011, there were 150 security-related M&A deals, including Intel's $7.7 billion acquisition of McAfee and Hewlett-Packard's $1.6 billion acquisition of ArcSight, up from 69 deals in 2007. In response to growing customer spending as well as related M&A activity, the venture capital investment community is actively engaged in developing the technologies at the forefront of this battle.

  • Investigating and Remediating Security Incidents: How Prepared Are You? Jun 7 2013 3:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    Do you suspect you have a security incident? Time is of the essence. Your initial approach can determine how much damage the cyber security incident does—or does not do—to your organization.

    What if you could reduce the time it takes to investigate and remediate a security incident from days to minutes? Join us for this webcast to learn how you can improve your incident response by:

    •Locating every instance of a suspicious file across your endpoints and servers
    •Knowing if the malware executed, when, and what it did
    •Stopping an attack and preventing it from happening again
    •Analyzing files that arrive on your endpoints and servers to quickly determine their risk
  • Digital Forensics and Incident Response – Why You Need Them Both Jun 7 2013 12:00 am UTC 45 mins
    Nobody wants to fall sick, and yet we all do. By the same token, nobody expects their systems to be breached, and yet it happens. When that happens, companies need a blend of Digital Forensics and Incident Response expertise to deal with the incident. However, the distinction between these two related but different services and their roles in responding to a breach are often not clear to the victims of the breach. In this session, Vivek Chudgar, Director of FireEye Labs (APAC), will explain the key differences between Digital Forensics and Incident Response and demystify the role each service plays in effectively responding to a breach.
  • Cloud Security: Don’t Throw Caution to the Wind Jun 6 2013 7:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    What is the cost of your proprietary data falling into the wrong hands? Did you know that today, the number one security threat in the cloud is data breach? What are your plans to secure your information the cloud? While organizations are rapidly turning to the cloud to reduce costs, provide greater flexibility and quickly ramp up support of business needs, security still remains a top concern.

    As a leading provider of information security services, Dell and its partners can provide you with expert guidance and critical security controls to protect your infrastructure, applications and data. Join us for an informative discussion that will separate fact from fiction, and help you secure your information in the cloud.

  • Targeted Attacks 101 - Eight Incident Response Steps Jun 6 2013 5:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    Is your business safe from malware and targeted attacks? Sophisticated attacks now leverage social engineering techniques and malware to compromise those individuals already on the inside of your enterprise, and then target your data. This session covers the basics of how this continues to happen, despite more money than ever being spent on perimeter and endpoint defenses. We’ll present an eight step incident response model to help prevent, detect and respond to these attacks.
  • Incident Response Panel - Reimagining the Modern Enterprise Security Paradigm Jun 6 2013 4:00 pm UTC 55 mins
    Today's accepted wisdom is that there are only two types of organizations, those that have been breached and know it and those that have been breached and don't. With this new vision comes the realization that building perimeter defenses is no longer enough, but that remediation, situational awareness and fast response time are what separate well secured organizations from the rest.

    Join this panel as they discuss the transition to an incident response world and the important operational and philosophical battles that will define it - from the federal and commercial perspectives to using forensics for risk analysis and IT investment and the attribution debate.

    Panel:

    Tom Field, Vice President, Editorial, Information Security Media Group (moderator)
    Bill Hau, VP of FireEye Labs,
    Pete Allor, Steering Committee member of FIRST
    Vernon Habersetzer, IR Team Lead, Walmart

  • Threat Indicators: Telltale Signs You’ve Been Owned Jun 5 2013 6:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    Based on recent high-profile reports of attackers compromising victims long before the breach is discovered, many security professionals want to know: “Are we already compromised?”

    Ben Feinstein, Director of our Counter Threat Unit’s operations and development teams, will discuss threat indicators and the subtle traces of an attacker’s tradecraft and presence in your environment. Ben will share findings from helping organizations defend against targeted attacks, focusing on tactics, techniques and procedures exhibited by organized cybercriminals and APT. He will also discuss using threat indicators to learn about the adversary and show how vital this intelligence is to successful incident response.

    Key Topics:

    · Understanding threat indicators that suggest your organization may already be compromised

    · Inspecting networks and hosts for signs of compromise

    · Strategies for response when attacker presence is found

  • Detecting File Execution: What Runs but Never Walks Jun 5 2013 5:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    In this webinar, I will begin with a brief discussion of the different types of attackers, and show how all threat actors are not equal. Then, I will discuss four main ways attackers execute code in a Windows environment. Reviewing real cases of recent attacks, I will show how to detect file execution using static, dynamic, and advanced analysis techniques. I will show how to use artifacts such as the Windows registry, logs, prefetch files, and network data to determine whether an attacker executed files. Finally, there will be a discussion of tools used for forensic analysis, including free tools such as the ShimCacheParser and MANDIANT Redline.
  • Full Security Visibility For Effective Incident Response Jun 5 2013 4:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    Despite significant time and effort deploying multiple security solutions, incident responders know more than anyone that existing signature-based, “set it and forget it” security technologies have not stopped the advanced persistent threat. Signature- and rule-based technologies are easily evaded with today’s advanced targeted attacks, morphing malware and zero-day threats. Tools like FireEye’s Malware Analysis System are effective in dealing with zero-day malware, but being able to detect this threat does not mean complete resolution.

    In addition, sophisticated attackers employ social engineering or take advantage of misconfigurations in security technologies to breach networks – without using any malware at all. Incident responders need full visibility of everything that is going through the network to understand the nature of how a threat originated, see what attackers actually did to take control over the network, and to answer the questions of what they did after they compromised systems. This session will provide an overview of Big Data Security Intelligence and Analytics and how full security visibility can answer the toughest post-breach questions so you can quickly determine the full source, scope and material impact of an incident.
  • Top 10 Mistakes Incident Response Teams Make Jun 5 2013 3:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    When it comes to organizations experiencing some form of cyber-attack, the adage still rings true: it’s not a question of if but when. Advanced malware, zero-day exploits, and targeted advanced persistent threats (APTs) have kept organizations on their heels and searching for ways to protect themselves. Incident Response teams are being forced to re-examine their existing IT security defenses and attempt to stay ahead of the attack curve. Surprisingly, many incident response teams aren’t doing themselves any favors with practices they have implemented.

    Attend this webinar to learn the top 10 mistakes that Incident Response teams make and what you can do to make sure you aren’t making them yourselves.
  • Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell: The (In)Security of Vendor-Supplied Software May 30 2013 4:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    What vulnerabilities threaten the integrity of your software supply chain and data? Can your enterprise really influence software vendors to meet your most important security policies and remediate insecure software?

    Action is needed, and urgently. An alarming 62 percent of all applications fail to reach compliance on their first submission, according to a study recently conducted by Veracode, Enterprise Testing of the Software Supply Chain. While few enterprises now have formal third-party testing programs, those that do find they dramatically improve vendor compliance while meeting industry standards.

    Join this webcast with Chris Eng, Veracode's Vice President of Research, and you will learn:

    •How leading enterprises now test their software supply chains.
    •Analytics drawn from code-level analyses of thousands of third-party applications that support global enterprises.
