How Identity Fits Into a Security-First Approach

Many enterprises have inadvertently exposed proprietary information by failing to properly secure data stored in public cloud environments like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform. While cloud computing has made it simple to spin up a new server without waiting for IT, this can also be a security nightmare. A simple misconfiguration or human error can compromise the security of your organization's entire cloud environment. Furthermore, "Cloud as an Attack vector"-based threats are increasingly breeding in IaaS, PaaS and SaaS environments to compound organizational risk. Good security hygiene should always be an integral part of any public- or multi-cloud environment, however, this isn’t the reality for many organizations.

Join Netskope for a lively session in which you’ll learn about some common cloud threats and security mistakes made by SecOps and CloudOps admins and how to avoid them.

In this webcast you will learn about:
- How to detect and remediate common misconfigurations in your cloud infrastructure
- How to identify and stop some of the top "Cloud as an Attack vector"-based threats (e.g. cloud phishing, malware, open redirection, coin miner attacks)
- How to follow best practices and maintain continuous compliance in your clouds.

This webinar will take a case study approach to demonstrate how security ratings can be leveraged to gain insight the cyber risk governance of organisations. Are organisations working in a structured manner to address cyber risk or are they purely reaction driven? We will look at organisations that have been breached in the last 12 months and explore what insights we can gather from trending across multiple security domains, including network security, DNS health, patching cadence, application security and endpoint security. We will explore how security ratings can help us take proactive measures to help mitigate risk to ourselves or our supply chain and collectively apply better and more disciplined governance.

Today’s enterprise needs to move fast at scale in the cloud, but the dynamic and complex nature of the cloud has introduced a significant new risk: a data breach due to misconfiguration and human error. In large enterprise cloud environments, it’s not uncommon to have tens of thousands of resources spanning hundreds of AWS accounts. This creates a challenge for security and compliance teams: How can you ensure critical data is secure and your AWS environments always adhere to policy—without deploying an army of cloud security engineers? Join Fugue as we explore why AWS misconfiguration is such a pervasive problem and how you can successfully address it. You’ll learn how to:

- Prevent misconfiguration in your DevOps workflow
- Identify critical misconfiguration events when they occur
- Remediate misconfiguration and drift using automation
- Measure your misconfiguration risk—and your success in addressing it

IaaS/PaaS providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP are increasing the productivity of our developers-- making our organizations extraordinarily agile. That same agility must be matched with security and compliance measures of the same speed and scale.

The vast majority of cloud security threats are from misconfigured IaaS instances, compromised accounts, and insider threats but there's emerging threats on the rise as well. And you’ll need deep visibility into your workloads and containers to fight back.

Join us for a live webinar with Dan Hubbard, inaugural CSA Research Fellow, co-inventor of the CSA top threats, and Lacework CPO on the current and emerging threats to public cloud and how best to automate security and compliance across AWS, Azure, and GCP, including:

- Current and emerging threats to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environments
- Recommendations on how to prevent, detect, analyze, and respond to cloud cyber attacks
- How to move away from a network-centric mindset and adopt a cloud approach
- How to automate security and compliance across AWS, Azure, GCP, and private clouds

Protection & Privacy in the Cloud: Operationalizing Privacy in AWS Environments

This Webinar featuring BigID’s Head of Product and AWS's Leader of Security and Compliance Solution Architecture will examine best practices for finding, protecting and automating PI/PII-centric privacy tasks at scale.

What You Will Learn:
- How to find PII/PI across AWS
- The difference between Protection and Privacy
- How to actualize privacy tasks like DSAR
- The role of ML in cloud-first privacy engineering

Cloud computing offers massive scalability, availability and low-cost services as major benefits, but as with most new technologies, it introduces new risks. Because there is so much opportunity in the cloud, the cloud service provider network is continuously growing. Service providers are using different technologies, different standards, and like all companies have different competency levels.

A couple of the major challenges organizations have when using cloud computing is managing these third-party operational and security risks. As more technology is moved from your company’s infrastructure to cloud, understanding and management of these risks often overwhelms technology and procurement teams.

This can be managed if an effective third-party framework is put into place, appropriately managed and cross-organizational guidelines are being followed.

- From GDPR to California Privacy: Managing Cloud Vendor Risk
Managing vendor risk is a continuous effort under GDPR, California CCPA and other global regulations. As organizations continue to improve their privacy and security programs, streamlining 3rd and 4th party vendor risk has become a priority. This includes everything from filling out vendor assessments, such as the CSA CAIQ, getting sufficient guarantees from your vendors to efficiently working with them during an audit or incident and much more. In this session, you’ll learn how to implement successful vendor risk processes, expedite vendor onboarding, and hear practical advice to automate vendor risk management within a software technology platform.

- Can you trust your eyes? Context as the basis for “Zero Trust” systems
In a digital world, you can’t trust everything you see. While the digital transformation has created countless benefits for enterprises, it has also made it possible to easily disguise reality, increasing the difficulty and complexity of security. Authenticating users and controlling access to critical workloads is challenging, due to the many vulnerabilities that only require network access, and security systems that neglect a key component: context. In this session, Cyxtera VP of Products and Co-Chair of the CSA Software Defined Perimeter Working Group discusses shortcomings with current authentication and authorization protocols, requirements for a consistent and effective security model, and portrays a way forward with a dynamic, context- based security solution.

Ninety-one percent of organizations in a recent TechValidate survey say they have seen phishing attacks on their organization in the past year. What’s more, 42% report more than 10 phishing attacks on their network in that time. What can be done to reduce these risks and protect your data and users? Phishing simulation tools are a powerful way to see how many and which employees are prone to fall for phishing attacks. With this information in hand, you can determine how to train those who are susceptible to avoid these attempts, and provide the tools to protect against them.

In this webinar you'll hear from Steve Edwards, who manages Duo's Corporate Security Engineering team, on his experience conducting internal phishing campaigns at education and tech organizations. In addition to interesting metrics and appropriate techniques that come from phishing simulations, Steve has 10 valuable lessons to share. Join us on February 7 for this webinar to learn several unexpected things about phishing, your company, and human psychology.

Expecting your (relatively) small staff of security specialists we all have to handle security, risk management, and good governance entirely on their own is a recipe for disaster. While specialists are critical to ensuring products and processes are designed well, promote security, and ease compliance, real security and good governance requires dissemination of knowledge throughout the organization. To truly understand what you are securing, and who does that work, you have to play in their sandbox, integrate into their existing processes, remove overhead wherever possible, and gather that data, data, data… did I mention the data? To scale, push knowledge and requirements downstream as much as possible, in the language your teams can use.

To scale to properly meet evolving risk management and compliance challenges, your own teams need to operate as a service. Automate processes wherever possible to help capture the necessary data to ensure good security is happening – and constantly evolve and improve the quality of that information to ensure it is driving expected behavior. Flow that data into simple dashboards that can help executives understand that things are really working as expected, and where they need to take action. After all, if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. In this talk you’ll learn from Julia Knecht how Adobe was able to make this work in relatively short order and how you can take all of the best practices we learned and developed back to your organization and create your own “culture of security.”

Please join us on the 17th of January as Jasson Casey, CTO at SecurityScorecard, describes the state of cybersecurity in the modern world, and what best practices are for measuring it - differently. He will discuss the importance of behavioral analytics, and how to make use of an “outside-in approach” when measuring cybersecurity.

He will relate how to apply security analytics to different facets of our business, including devops. With 20 years in the industry, Jasson will discuss his perspective on what tactics work, and which do not. Please join us to learn more.

In this webinar, we will deep dive into managing the vendor lifecycle under the GDPR, California Privacy (CCPA), and other global regulations. As organizations continue to improve their privacy and security programs, streamlining third-and fourth-party vendor risk has become a priority. This includes everything from filling out vendor assessments like the CSA Consensus Assessments Initiative Questionnaire (CAIQ), gaining sufficient guarantees from your vendors, to efficiently working with them during an audit or incident and much more.

Together, the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) and OneTrust launched a free Vendor Risk Management (VRM) tool to automate the vendor risk lifecycle for compliance with global privacy and security frameworks.
