How to Negotiate a Proper SLA

My mother was washing dishes in the kitchen when the glass window she was looking out shattered in front of her…she was OK but unfortunately my curve ball has never gotten better. The second law of thermodynamics dictates that you can't put together something that has fallen apart. There was no way I could put that shattered glass back together. The second law of thermodynamics applies to breaches. There is no way to go back once you have been breached. We will tell you what are the emerging threats, how to prepare, and how to proactively manage an ongoing breach. We will cover the following types of breaches:
- Phishing Scams
- Buffer Overflow
- Password Hacking
- Downloading Free Software
- Fault Injection

With ERP vendors reporting double-digit growth in cloud revenue year over year, many organizations are faced with the challenging task of planning a cloud migration of their most critical assets. Because these systems are typically more complex, and also house the organization's critical data and processes, special precautions must be taken when building a migration plan.

During this webcast JP Perez-Etchegoyen, CTO of Onapsis Inc and Shamun Mahmud, Research Analyst at CSA, will present their key findings from the recently released white paper, "The State of Enterprise Resource Planning Security in the Cloud." Attendees will learn:
- Security requirements of ERP and Business-Critical Applications
- Cloud adoption trends
- Challenges of migrating ERP solutions to the cloud
- Common Security and privacy risks in cloud based ERP applications
o SaaS ERP Applications
o IaaS ERP Deployments
o ERP extensions in PaaS cloud
- Conclusions and key take-aways

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.

It’s a brave new world, with bug bounties and crowd-sourced penetration tests now an up-and-coming way to augment security programs. But can you do the same with your compliance and certification programs? At Adobe, our security team has been working with our internal audit team and outside vendors to see if it’s possible – and the early returns are very encouraging!

In this webinar you'll find out more about how you can leverage both internal and external security researchers to help with compliance efforts, while measuring your real-world security risk.

If we could call out two things that are growing in importance in 2018, it’s containers and compliance. Penalties for data breaches are on the rise, all the while organizations are under increasing pressure to expand their DevOps practices and increase their agility, which leads teams to turn to containers. And while containers usher in plenty of opportunities, they can lead to compliance headaches if they aren’t properly configured.

Join us for this webinar for helpful tips and best practices on how to create a containerized environment that works with your compliance needs.

Amazon, Azure and SaaS are already on everyone's mind. When your data center workloads move to cloud, is your corporate backhaul the most efficient way to get to the applications? The migration of applications from the data center to the cloud is forcing organizations to rethink their branch network and security architectures to enable local internet breakouts. What are the challenges of local breakouts and the hybrid branch?

Join this webcast to discuss considerations for securely moving your branch workloads to the cloud to enable a better user experience, manage costs, and reduce risk.

Security automation strategies are a necessity for any cloud-scale enterprise. There are challenges to be met at each phase of developing and deploying security automation including identifying the appropriate automation goals, creating an accurate view of the organization, tool selection, and managing the returned data at scale. This presentation will provide the details of various of open-source materials and methods that have been successfully used to address each of those challenges.

In this webinar, we will take a look at ISO/IEC 19086 which is an international standard for cloud service level agreements (SLAs). Specifically, we’ll discuss the impetus for establishing the standard in the first place, the scope of the work, organization of the parts, key elements and putting the standard to work. 19086 does not prescribe a template for SLAs but rather provides elements to consider when negotiating and drafting SLAs. 19086 introduces Service Qualitative Objective (SQO) as a new term and we’ll discuss the relationship between SQOs and the more traditional SLO (Service Level Objective). We’ll also discuss the relationship between SLAs and cloud service agreements (CSA) and other documents that can be part of a CSA.

Many companies rely on staticpoint-in-time security assessments to measure the cybersecurity health of their enterprise and vendor ecosystem. This approach is quickly becoming obsolete in today’s dynamic cyber threat landscape, fraught with increasingly sophisticated adversaries deploying malicious tactics to compromise your data. Continuous data-driven monitoring of security in your organization and in every vendor organization with access to your IT infrastructure is the only strategy that will keep you one step ahead of the bad guys.

This webinar will outline how you can gain an outside-in, data-driven view of the security posture of your IT infrastructure to:

- Empower your team with granular analytics capabilities as well as comprehensive visibility of your network and system vulnerabilities -- all from a hacker’s perspective.
- Enable your organization to monitor the the cybersecurity health of any third party/vendor organizations
- Uncover predictive breach capabilities
- Prioritize areas in which organizations can apply focus to meet regulatory compliance and standards requirements

From the Uber data leakage incident to cases where photographs of young or vulnerable people are stolen and misused on inappropriate websites, there is a fundamental gap: the lack of users' control over their data once it is uploaded onto the Internet. This talk introduces some of the key challenges and scientific trends in returning data control to cloud users, and how STRATUS (https://stratus.org.nz), a 6-year NZD12.23 mil (incl. GST) MBIE-funded cloud security research project, is addressing these gaps. The talk will also cover some of the Cloud Security Alliance's contributions to the STRATUS project.

A secure product lifecycle (SPLC) is integral to ensuring software is written with security in mind, but companies struggle to create a successful process with limited security resources and minimal impact to engineering teams.

In this webinar, Julia Knecht and Taylor Lobb – Managers, Security & Privacy Architecture at Adobe, will explain how a team of just two security pros helped roll out a successful SPLC program that has scaled to support thousands of engineers by leveraging automation and establishing security ambassadors (champions) within the product engineering teams.

Defining security requirements and KPIs for engineering teams is just the first step in creating the SPLC. In order to make the design a reality for several products, thousands of engineers, and millions of lines of code, Adobe’s team was organized into an “as a service” model and utilized automation to scale to meet this demand. Establishing a strong security ambassador program helped ensure the success of the SPLC. The centralized ambassador network has been crucial to the success all product security initiatives throughout the business unit.

You’ll walk away with on-the-ground knowledge you can use to establish an effective SPLC in your own organization by establishing and utilizing security ambassadors and providing seamless automation to support these key initiatives.

Offering organizations of all sizes the benefits of agility and scalability, the adoption of public cloud continues at a pace rivalled only by that of the early days of the Internet era. As was the case then, the speed of adoption often means that “good enough” security is viewed as acceptable. With the underlying premise that the public cloud is someone else’s computer, and an extension of your network this session will cover public cloud security concerns, what the shared security responsibility model really means and recommendations for protecting your public cloud workloads and data.

As a cloud customer, vendor, security auditor or regulator, you may have been involved with ensuring security in the cloud. Although numerous standards, regulations, and controls frameworks exist to ensure compliance with security best practices, a harmonized and cloud-focused guidance can be quite valuable. In this webinar, we will explore how the CSA Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) framework provides organizations with such a harmonized guidance and needed structure relating to information security tailored to the cloud industry. We will also discuss how the CCM addresses assurance of legal and interoperability aspects of the cloud.
