Understanding Vulnerabilities to Better Mitigate Threats

Enterprise Mobility Management is evolving as quickly as the devices and apps it means to control. Mobile security is constantly having to adapt to innovations in mobility. Organizations need to approach mobility management as an integral part of their mobile strategy. Security should be intrinsic but not inhibitive. Come learn where mobility is going, mobility management questions your organization should be asking, and what you can do to assure that your end-users and data are protected.

"You look at how you're going to let this operate within your network. So you start with the policy, then you look at the technology that you need to deploy on these devices. Then you actually look at who has access to what." Jeffrey Vinson, Director and CISO of SecureNet Payment Systems, discusses the steps to progress through when preparing for BYOD in your business.

In the last 10 years, hacking has become big business with a well organised infrastructure, defined roles and responsibilities, and sophisticated attack vector automation that generates large-scale attacks of unprecedented size, speed and devastation. Advanced protection is needed in order to successfully stand up to the ‘industrialisation of hacking’. In this webinar, Andy will talk about:

- How to prevent web attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, app DDoS or site scraping.

- The limitations and vulnerabilities associated with IPS solutions and other traditional security solutions.

- Attack-mitigation techniques for combating malware including bots and other automated attacks common in industrialised hacking.

- How to protect networks from the ‘compromised insider’ threat.

Don't be caught off guard when your auditors show up and start asking internal control questions that you can't answer. In this roundtable session, listen, learn, and share your experiences around managing your internal control system with your ERP system and what to be prepared for BEFORE the auditors show up. There are always tips to learn from others in the compliance area and this session traditionally has lively dialogue, so don't miss this opportunity to prepare for your next audit.

Mobile devices and applications are redefining business, revolutionizing productivity and driving competitive advantage. But as the volume of mobile applications increases, so too are mobile exploits. In the rush to enter the mobile software market, are we taking shortcuts that force us to repeat sins of the past? Like caching sensitive data, incomplete encryption and simple mistakes in coding? Don't let old-school vulnerabilities allow hackers to resurrect previously obsolete malware and exploits. With the experience of more than 1,400 incident response investigations, thousands of penetration tests and hundreds of application security tests, Trustwave SpiderLabs' Charles Henderson will show IT, security and development teams how to make sure they're not leaving sound security practices and due diligence behind as they develop new mobile applications.

While a key driver for adapting security technologies, compliance is still a huge burden for most organizations. In the presentation we will discuss novel approaches to both lower the cost of compliance and derive relevant business value from the process. Changing the compliance process from a periodical manual process into a continuous automated process ensures real time visibility into your compliance posture as well as the ability to react in real time to compliance issues rather than just after the fact. By overlaying the information collected with your enterprise IT asset model, the real time compliance information can also contribute to business driven risk management and help in making the right investment decisions in information security.

Cyber attacks are reaching pandemic levels. State-sponsored groups and organized crime are successfully stealing valuable intellectual property—including critical infrastructure and operational readiness information, businesses’ and consumers’ financial data—often without anyone realizing the attack has occurred. But preparedness cannot be delegated solely to the IT department. The involvement of the entire enterprise, armed with an understanding of the highly dynamic landscape, is vital for warding off potential threats.

Join your fellow professionals to discuss these trends, and, more importantly, some new perspectives on how to address them:

Risks:

Impacts on risk from evolving adversaries
Risks driven by changes in the changing technology landscape
(including cloud, virtualization, consumerization and mobile)
The ever empowered privileged user

Solutions

Adversary centric security models
Applying security without infrastructure control
Designing for the secure breach

Establishing PCI DSS compliance can be extremely resource intensive. For medium to large organizations, the many tasks involved in documenting, tracking and auditing network security procedures manually can take days. With an automated firewall operations, auditing and compliance solution, companies can substantially reduce the time and cost of PCI DSS compliance as it applies to the management of firewalls, routers and related network security infrastructure. Learn how to reduce the amount of time required for audit preparation by more than 50%, while enabling continuous compliance with the PCI standard.

Automation is key when it comes to production. The same is true for malware. Malware production has moved on from the traditional manual method to a more efficient automated assembly line. In this talk, I will take the audience on an over-the-shoulder look at how attackers automate malware production. Discussion will focus on the tools and methodologies the attackers use to produce thousands of malware on a daily basis. The talk will then conclude with a live demonstration of how malware is produced in an automated fashion.

The HP Security Research team (HPSR) is hard at work monitoring the threat landscape for new campaigns, profiling actors to understand their motivations, identifying the tools they use and determining how credible certain threats might be. It’s part of a long-term strategy for developing a new threat intelligence-sharing model. Why is that important? It will provide real-time info from the larger security community-- enterprises like yours, industry security organizations and security vendors-- that can be used to automate and catch these breaches immediately.

Learn about HP’s findings, including these culprits: injection flaws, DDoS, various phishing techniques and zero day vulnerabilities. How can you address the inevitable breaches that will occur?

Traditional ideas of "exposed systems" are not up to the challenge of finding the paths determined attackers can use to attack and compromise systems. A variety of data must be collected, analyzed, and correlated to find threats both obvious and subtle. This webinar will explore the information needed, and the analysis required to find exposures which can lead to compromise.

Antivirus only stopped 49% of malware in 2012. Is your data safe against the malware tools being deployed by cyber-criminals? Today’s hackers are using targeted attacks, drive-by downloads and exploiting human error to access your organization’s intellectual property. IT Security’s ability to move from reactive to proactive security involves deploying both intelligence and policy based protection. Full protection for both physical and virtual environments requires an integrated, layered defense on the endpoint. Join us to learn best practices and strategies for unrivaled security and blazing performance to defend your organization against today’s complex threats.

There was a time when distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks threatened business operations by simply “flooding the network pipe” with traffic congestion. But that has all changed. Today’s sophisticated and targeted attacks use a multitude of vectors to overwhelm and infiltrate websites and online services – disrupting an enterprise’s online presence and customer’s ability to do business with the company under attack.

While enterprises once could rely solely on their cloud service providers, ISPs and perimeter security to protect against these attacks, many are just now learning they are vulnerable to the new types of denial of service attacks. Some of these highly targeted attacks are taking down online services while others are being used as a diversionary tactic that is used to distract from an advanced malware attack.

This presentation will cover examples of high profile, multi vector attacks that use stealth components and application vulnerabilities to shut down or infiltrate an enterprise’s network. Attendees will learn what types of attacks cloud providers and service providers are stopping and what attacks need to be handled on the internal enterprise network. The presentation will also cover a framework that will help organizations move toward a more secure stance against denial of service attacks.

When an organization has a distributed or mobile workforce or requires executives or key personnel to work from home, the issue of securing the business critical data becomes especially problematic. In most cases today, responsibility for the security of the file data is the left up to the individual end user. Theft or even the borrowing of the mobile device leaves critical file data exposed.

The rapid growth of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) brings cost savings and efficiency for organizations but also a greater risk of security breaches. Today, no control or reporting of use of critical data on mobile devices is possible and this creates regulatory problems.

Join your fellow professionals to understand the storage implications for storing file data in a distributed world and best practices on file data security.

Join Brady as he explains why placing priority on information security will lead your organization down the path of compliance by default – drastically reducing the time and resources needed for audit and compliance management and reporting.

Discover how your organization can benefit from:

· A proactive risk management strategy and full visibility into its risk posture
· A streamlined and better-managed information security program
· Simplified risk assessment and mitigation
· Automated compliance with regulatory requirements

The IT community is used to network-based attacks from PCs, but how prepared are you against attacks from mobile devices brought in by our employees and networked equipment out in the field? This talk will present some recent examples of such threats and offer some possible solutions.

How do you respond when your organisation has been breached and law enforcement is unable to help?

More and more companies are turning from a reactive response to breaches to a proactive one: preventing a breach before it happens and hacking back. This panel session will feature 4 experts discuss these topics in-depth, from its technical to legal implications.
