How to Negotiate a Proper SLA

The rapid adoption of cloud applications and services has fueled the need for new security solutions, such as Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs). But how do these systems weave into your overall security infrastructure? There are many intersections to consider, such as DLP, Advanced Malware Protection, Web Security and Endpoint where organizations are navigating how to best integrate cloud security into their environment. This talk will explore this next frontier of CASB solutions.

Enterprises around the globe are rapidly opening up their back-end systems and databases to the outside world using APIs. Drivers for doing this include everything from improving customer service, to monetizing corporate information assets and meeting regulatory requirements. For businesses and systems, however, that were never designed to be opened up to the outside world, APIs can expose them to a whole new range of major security threats and attacks. This webinar will examine this important and growing industry trend from a vendor-agnostic perspective, including:
- What are the emerging threats and risks with APIs?
- What API security controls and practices should be considered and how can cloud-based solutions assist?
- What to look for when evaluating API security solutions?

Far too often, testing software for security flaws falls into the “nice-to-have” category, taking a backseat to the demands of the marketplace and inflexible feature release schedules. In addition to the expense of hiring an outside security testing team, testing for and fixing obscure security bugs is a brake on an engineer’s ability to put new code in the hands of their customers. Fortunately, there is a workaround to this dilemma that will allow you to promote application security awareness while helping to reduce security bugs in your applications.

An internal bug hunt contest - in which your employees compete for prizes by finding and reporting security bugs - enables you to harness the creativity and problem-solving skills of your workforce while reducing security bugs in your applications. It can also help promote a culture of security awareness - without a large security testing budget.

An internal bug hunt contest can you help you:

• Find and remediate vulnerabilities before external entities can exploit them
• Provide a safe platform for your application owners to test for security bugs
• Promote application security awareness
• Engage employees outside of the central security team who want to explore the security domain

In this webcast, you will learn how an internal bug bounty program can help you find security flaws in your applications before criminals or spies, while improving the security culture at your company.

There are many challenges for data privacy legislation within a boundary-less cloud computing and World Wide Web environment. Despite its importance, there is limited research around data privacy law gaps and alignment, and the legal side of the security ecosystem seems to constantly be playing catch-up.

Cloud as the enabler of Internet of Things (IoT) and data analytics, the incorporation of cloud computing is critical for the successful implementation of these leading-edge technologies. Countries and organizations moving towards Industry 4.0 are highly dependent on cloud computing, as it is the basis for this revolutionary transition. However, complications and confusion arising from regulations (or lack thereof) surrounding cloud usage hinder cloud adoption.

During this webcast, we will discuss some of the findings from the CSA “State of Cloud Adoption in Asia Pacific (APAC) 2017” report and examine the availability and affordability of cloud computing in the APAC region.

Nicola Franchetto will discuss in a practical and business oriented way, the new provisions of the GDPR and how the PLA Code of Conduct supports compliance with the forthcoming EU Data Protection Legislation. More precisely, Franchetto will highlight the true privacy compliance “game changers” introduced by the GDPR and offer the audience practical inputs on how to set up a sound and effective corporate Data Protection Compliance Programme, which will also include having a PLA in place with Cloud Service Providers.

Ransomware has become a major concern for organizations around the globe. The U.S. Department of Justice reports that an average of 4,000 ransomware attacks occur daily. These ransomware attacks aren’t just targeting laptops and other end-user devices either. Servers are equally at risk of ransomware attacks as well. There’s good news though - your backup data can be difference between being held hostage and easily recovering from an attack.

Join security experts, Andrew Nielsen, Chief Trust Officer from Druva and Jim Reavis, CEO of Cloud Security Alliance to learn:

●The top vulnerabilities exploited for endpoints and servers

Cloud services have emerged as the preferred attack vector of some of the most dangerous and innovative cloud malware exploits of the past six months. Why?  Because many organizations don't inspect their cloud SSL traffic for malware and the same functionalities of the cloud dramatically increase productivity (sync, share, collaborate, etc) also provide ransomware developers with a perfect medium for faster delivery of malware payloads to more targets.

Join Netskope chief evangelist, Bob Gilbert, and Threat Detection Engineer, Sean Hittel, for a fascinating look at how malicious actors now design ransomware to make best use of popular cloud services to hide in plain sight, and do more damage in less time. 
 
Bob and Sean will provide technical analyses of recent malware campaigns discovered or documented by Netskope Threat Research Labs and how to defend against them.  These include:
 
• Virlock, which encrypts files and also infects them, making it a polymorphic file infector 
• CloudFanta, which uses the SugarSync cloud storage app to deliver malware capable of stealing user credentials and monitoring online banking activities
• CloudSquirrel, which takes advantage of multiple cloud apps throughout the ransomware kill chain with the intent to steal and exfiltrate user data
• The Zepto variant of Locky ransomware, now distributed both by popular cloud storage apps and via DLL

Encryption and terms like "BYOK" have surged to the forefront of cloud service discussions. Both security and compliance stakeholders express great interest in encryption and its apparent promises.

Though one of the most mature industries in cybersecurity, the Financial Services industry has seen some of the largest explosion of innovation and technology. While startups and innovators are focused on speed to market and leveraging cloud infrastructure and cloud platforms as a service, the need for security in financial technologies is paramount.

In this session, Miguel Ramos will use case studies and his experience to outline key steps that can be taken to secure financial technology innovators, and explain how traditional, cloud and potentially even blockchain technologies can be used by corporations to ensure the security they need to drive business forward.

Data security has a tendency to be intimidating for organizations, users and implementers. Organizations see the value but the challenges of applying a data security solution. Wouldn’t it be great if there were solutions that took the guesswork out of data protection and key management?

In today’s data driven environment, there are strategies and technologies to protect data that do not have to be the high-risk propositions feared by organizations, users and implementers - IT professionals. By thinking of data security and key management as data t protection enablers instead of obstacles, you can easily protect data across the infrastructure and beyond. Data security and key management need to interact with the data and the users in a seamless way that doesn’t disrupt their processes or destroy the characteristics of the data.

During this webcast we will discuss some of the findings from the CSA Security Guidance v4 report and how data-centric security can help mitigate and manage many of the risks. Think of security as an enabler instead of an obstacle for cloud adoption.

It’s become clear that organizations need to overcome the challenges of securing hybrid enterprises. Hybrid IT spans platforms, tenancy and locations, which when using traditional solutions often results in a fractured security architecture without a centralized single policy, view or enforcement point. With this shift to hybrid, organizations need to embrace CSA’s Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) specification to enable a new, transformational approach. Using SDP results in precise network security, automated network policies, reduced compliance effort and reduced attack surface.

In this session, we’ll summarize the progress that’s been made with the CSA’s Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) specification over the past two years, and show how and why an SDP approach enables organizations to overcome the challenges of securing hybrid environments. We’ll conclude this session with a case study, showing real-world benefits achieved by enterprises that have deployed an SDP architecture.
