Bitglass Briefings Part 1: The Evolution of CASBs: A New Hope

The advantages offered by a cloud-based environment makes it an easy decision for most companies to have apps and data both on-premises and in the cloud. Still, there are numerous critical choices to be made that can transform the complexities of the migration process into a relatively smooth transition—especially regarding application and data security. Join Imperva and (ISC)2 on April 5, 2018 at 1:00PM Eastern as we define the hybrid cloud and talk about best practices to secure your company assets as you start managing and securing them both on-premises and in the cloud.

Bots are now teetering on the edge of being the majority of traffic on the internet. It’s not all bad news, as there are plenty of useful bots that make both our work and personal lives more productive. However, malicious bot and botnet creators have introduced more sophistication into their bots, making them harder to detect, and the resulting threats are becoming more common place. Join F5 and (ISC)2 on March 29, 2018 at 1:00PM Eastern as data gathered from internal threat research teams is presented that explains how bots are being created, the top application threats driven by bots, and how to detect and better protect to your business.

In Part 1, we examined what GDPR is, what the requirements are and how organizations will be impacted. In Part 2, our panel will discuss more on the potential impacts of GDPR across a typical organization (including assessments, encryption, audit & controls and the impact to each department, from finance to marketing) and what the organization should be doing to plan for GDPR. Join (ISC)² on March 27, 2018 at 1:00PM Eastern, as (ISC)² discusses these topics and answers questions from the audience about this important and looming regulation.

May 25, 2018 is coming like a freight train. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) goes into effect on that date, and organizations of all sizes (that collect data from EU residents) need to be ready for this new regulation. With the new regulation, the definition of personal data has been expanded and it applies to wherever data is sent, processed or stored. On March 13, 2018 at 1:00PM Eastern, (ISC)² kicks off the 1st part of the 2-part webcast where we will focus on what is GDPR, what the requirements are and how organizations will be impacted. Part 2 will expand on potential impacts and examine what organizations should be putting into their planning for GDPR.

Security is an essential element of any application and increasingly critical for API-driven architectures in hybrid and public cloud environments. New threats and vulnerabilities emerge constantly, and enterprises find themselves struggling to protect these APIs from attacks. Join Imperva and (ISC)2 for Part 2 of our Security Briefings series on March 8, 2018 at 1:00PM Eastern where we will discuss proven approaches to making API security a priority through understanding how common types of attacks such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) can target APIs, what are the steps to proactively secure development frameworks, and how to enforce identity across enterprise environments.

In a world powered by consumer choice, our authentication programs are only as effective as their adoption rates – by real, living-breathing, error-prone human beings. IBM recently conducted a research study of 4,000 adults called The Future of Identity, designed to examine what people around the world really think about various old and new methods of signing on (passwords/biometrics/multifactor authentication), what they’re using today, and what they plan to use in the future. Insights from the Future of Identity report have been covered around the world by publications like Politico, TechRepublic, and Engadget, and even featured on NBC's Today Show. Join IBM Security's authentication experts as we cover some never-before-seen data on the 'authentication adoption curve' and discuss practical guidance to put those insights into action.

Our modern world depends on healthy, functioning, IoT devices. Unfortunately many of them are terribly insecure. Cyber attackers know this and have been aggressively compromising IoT devices for years. For the past two years, F5 Labs has been tracking cyber attackers as they hunt, infect, and build “Thingbots” - botnets made from IoT devices. This hunt has developed sizable thingbots like the infamous Mirai, and many others that have the capability to launch globally destructive attacks. These attacks can significantly impact modern life because of IoT’s presence within power systems, transportation systems, airport monitors, emergency warning systems, and security cameras. Join F5 and (ISC)2 on March 1, 2018 at 1:00PM Eastern for the 2nd Part of our three part Security Briefings series where we’ll explore the threat actors behind these attacks, the geographical targets of their attacks, how they are evolving their attack methods, and the types of devices impacted. We’ll include tips on how to start protecting yourself personally, and what you should be doing to protect your businesses.

Today, the average internet user has lost control over their personal information, the result of endless requests to create accounts validated with personal data like SSN/home address/date of birth; and the persistence of hackers and ne’er-do-wells to compromise that data. Users are demanding simpler and more portable ways to manage their identities online, and organizations are joining the charge, as they look to reduce the cost, risk and liability of managing their own identity stores in siloes. A leader in blockchain and cybersecurity, IBM is one of many technology providers leading the movement toward Decentralized Identity systems that aim to put people back in control of their data. Join tech luminary and IBM CTO Dr. Sridhar Muppidi as we move past the buzzwords, exploring the basic terminology and adoption patterns of Decentralized Identity. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of what it will take to make this vision a reality, and walk away with best practices to get started.

Bots. They generate over half of the internet traffic and over half of the bots are malicious (or of questionable value). Bots can make your systems vulnerable to scraping bots, account takeover bots, impersonators, spammers and hackers. On February 8, 2018 at 1:00PM Eastern, Impreva will share data gathered from their security research team about the most recent bot trends, how bot traffic is changing, where it’s coming from, and the top actions you should be taking to mitigate the effects of bad bots on your websites. Join us for Part 1 of a 3 Part Security Briefings series and understand how commercial services take a multi-layer approach to bot mitigation and management and whether one of these services may be appropriate for you.

Web application security is complex, difficult, and costly. These issues are well known, but remain prevalent out in the real world. Most development teams do not have the time or resources to sufficiently protect against the myriad of attacks that are relevant to each vector, while the level of expertise required to address these issues are difficult to come by even if your project has the time and budget for it. The good news is that advanced WAF technology is more accessible and affordable than ever before. With the right tools, comprehensive WAF coverage can not only reduce your exposures and give you better control over your applications but also help optimize your resources and reduce overall operating costs. Join F5 and (ISC)2 for Part 1 of a 3 part Security Briefings Series on February 1, 2018 at 1PM Eastern where we’ll discuss the OWASP Top 10, defenses for everything it addresses and how to use WAF to optimize and filter unwanted traffic to cut costs in the cloud.

The application economy is altering the way we live, work, and interact. As a result, organizations are transforming the way they provide services to customers, employees, and partners. But no matter how these services are accessed, a fundamental concern remains: How does an organization protect sensitive data, while still allowing a frictionless and enjoyable user experience?Join David Duncan, VP, Security of CA Technologies and (ISC)2 on Thursday, January 11, 2018 at 1:00PM Eastern for examination of the cybersecurity risks that can result from application development and what it takes to future-proof business trust.

Access to and within DevOps environments have proliferated over the past few years, with both users and scripts (with embedded credentials). This privileged identity sprawl poses significant risks that need to be addressed.Join CA Technologies and (ISC)2 on December 7, 2017 at 1:00PM Eastern. In this session, we'll look at the technology and approach that CA takes to secure such environments.

Do you have a minute? 1 minute 40 seconds to be exact? That’s the median time-to-first-click in most phishing expeditions. While we celebrate all that humans can accomplish with the help of technology, we must also be cognizant of the dangers affiliated with humans and technology. How can you as a leader educate your people? How can you encourage them to take a minute to THINK before clicking? Join Mimecast and (ISC)2 as we explore how email is being used as entry point for multiple types of attacks, the negative impact these attacks have on organizations and how to enhance your email security and overall cyber resilience.

As the volume and variety of network data increases, security tools in high-speed networks are unable to keep pace with the explosion of encrypted threats, from malware incursion to data exfiltration. The standard approach of decryption of traffic by each security tool no longer works. Additionally, this approach can result in performance degradation, massive inefficiencies and unnecessary expenditures by security teams. In this webcast, we’ll examine how to eliminate tool overload and high latency as well as how a “decrypt once and inspect many” approach to managing SSL traffic effectively detects hidden threats and provides greater security infrastructure resiliency.

Managing the increasing volumes of network data across expanding physical, virtual and cloud networks is a growing challenge for Enterprise IT organizations. Likewise, the increase in malware, data breaches and ransomware challenges SecOps teams to build a stronger, scalable security posture while mitigating risk. This effort overloads network security, monitoring and analysis tools, as well as the Infosecurity staff. How can an organization access and utilize critical network information and use the metadata generated to turbo charge incident detection and response? In this webcast, we’ll examine how to reduce time-to-threat detection by analyzing metadata traffic, using proactive, real-time traffic monitoring vs. reactive forensics, to protect increasingly complex networks.

Organizations continue to move to the public cloud in large numbers, but they often do not understand the implications of the shared responsibility model. The question is: “who is responsible for security of the cloud versus security in the cloud”? This webcast will address this question, look at SLAs for mission-critical workflows to the cloud, as well as how to assure compliance and accelerate the on-boarding of critical applications.
