Solution Summit - Part 4: Roundtable Discussion

Security budgets continue to tick upward, but underneath the hood, increasingly hybrid architectures in enterprise IT are driving shifts in where that money is applied. GDPR has driven compliance to the forefront of security project decision making, while other pain points including user behavior and lack of qualified personnel drive specific security product deployments. Security resistance to cloud continues to decrease, while the endpoint security space remains both relevant and increasingly crowded. Join Daniel Kennedy, Research Director for 451 Research on January 29, 2019 at 1:00PM Eastern as he walks through highlights of 451's 2018 surveys and interviews of information security professionals.

Most organizations have multiple products and services, from multiple vendors and suppliers to address their cybersecurity needs. The lack of integration and inability to share critical information results in silos of technology that cause inefficiency, lack of agility, limited visibility and a poor security posture. How can an organization solve and streamline this improve their cybersecurity operations? Join Infoblox and (ISC)2 on January 10, 2019 at 1:00PM Eastern for an examination of how Infoblox and Fortinet have joined together to assist organizations in improving their security operations and reducing time to containment.

When it comes to making access decisions, it’s all about being smart. In the speed of today’s business agility requirements, we cannot stop users at the door all the time and ask for their ID. We need to know them. Intelligent Authentication provides the benefit of reducing friction AND adding security to protect applications and data that are critical to the business. It provides security and convenience, considering the needs of the modern workforce. In this session we will discuss a simple process to gain visibility into the right listening posts, derive actionable insights and then drive action to protect the organization’s most valuable assets from rogue access and drive Identity Assurance.

Ever heard the expression, “you can’t hit what you can’t see?” Well that sentiment rings true when it comes to protecting access to critical resources. You can only secure what you actually take steps to protect. .As such, secure access needs to be pervasive and cover all access user cases, regardless of whether applications and resources live on-premises or in the cloud. And because it’s likely have both, you need a solution that works equally well across these hybrid environments. In this session we will explore five critical secure access use cases, and how you can achieve a high-level of identity assurance that users are who that claim to be so that you can avoid falling victim to the next wave of credential-based attacks.

Industry thought leaders have stated that if you can only tackle one project to improve the security of your organisation it should be Privileged Access Management (PAM). Our own research backs this up with the 2018 Privileged Access Threat Report revealing organizations using automated PAM technology experience far fewer serious breaches than those that did not. Karl Lankford, Lead Solutions Engineer EMEA at Bomgar will discuss what ‘privilege’ means to your business and how implementing a PAM solution can drive significant improvements across the organisation. You will learn:

•Why organisations should make PAM their top 2019 investment
•Why quickly controlling and automating key PAM capabilities is critical to your organisation’s success
•Help you to prepare the business case for your PAM project and to get Executive Leadership buy in

The 2018 (ISC)² Cybersecurity Workforce Study finds the cybersecurity skills shortage continues to grow. But the news isn’t all doom and gloom. Our latest deep dive into the issues and challenges facing cybersecurity professionals adopts a new approach to more broadly define the cybersecurity workforce. The study reveals a relatively satisfied, younger and more diverse field of practitioners focused on developing their skills and advancing their careers. Join (ISC)² Director of Cybersecurity Advocacy, North America, John McCumber On November 20, 2018 at 1:00PM Eastern as we examine how practitioners are dealing with the workforce gap while balancing skills development, hiring priorities and everyday threats they face.

The market demands for the modern approach to authentication is more like “Have it your way!” That’s why many of the approaches and offerings can only do one thing. Those apps will become obsolete or acquired as Access Management vendors will face the complex reality that enterprises who want modern authentication will also want access that’s convenient, intelligent and pervasive – not just 2FA or SSO. In this webinar, RSA will examine how to leverage a trusted, secure access platform that provides access to all users, to all apps from anywhere at any time in a smart, secure and noninvasive way.

Someone in leadership always seems to ask the question “How can I tie my threat hunting activities to real impacts for the organization?” Threat hunting programs are encouraged as part of a mature and successful incident response capability and teams invest significant time and effort in the development and maintenance of that program. However, management is always looking for metrics to demonstrate the value of threat hunting in real terms due to the number of hours consumed by such highly skilled professionals. It’s a big investment. Join Gigamon on November 1, 2018 at 1:00PM Eastern for an examination of how to demonstrate value from threat hunting operations with practical methods and examples for tracking hunting operations, reporting and attributing outcomes to industry-leading frameworks and plot hunting goals and coverage across the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

As your infrastructure has grown to include a mix of physical, virtual and cloud environments with increased network speeds and volume of data, so have the threats increased to your attack surface with more vectors to breach your organization. This challenges your network and security operation teams and tour traditional network packet broker needs to evolve from providing network visibility to also helping strengthen your security posture. Join Gigamon and (ISC)2 on October 18, 2018 at 1:00PM Eastern where we will examine the acquisition and aggregation of data from your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure, filtering of traffic to provide the right data to the right tools, transforming your data with masking, header stripping and SSL decryption (TLS1.3) to ensure compliance, threat prioritization by providing context and bridging the gap between NetOps and SecOps.

We’ve all heard that quantum computers are coming; beyond being a boon for materials science they’re going to wreak havoc for cybersecurity. Part 3 of this series from Gemlato will outline the scope of the problem (it’s more than just algorithms) as well as the work required and being done to protect data through the upcoming transition.

With 91% of data breaches being the result of human error, security leaders, auditors, and regulators increasingly recognize that a more intentional focus on the human side of security is critical to the protection of organizations. However, organizations have been struggling with and debating the effectiveness of traditional security awareness and training. KnowBe4 shares results-focused strategies and practical insights on how to build a world-class program

In spite of all the spectacular news stories about advanced persistent threats and targeted hacks from nation-states, the most common security challenge facing enterprises today continues to be social engineering. Successful hackers know the user is the weakest link in the security chain. Email phishing campaigns have proven to be the path of least resistance to get unsuspecting individuals to download and install their malicious software. Getting users to identify phishing attacks and training them not to click on links in email messages is not a trivial task. Join KnowBe4 as we discuss the strategies and techniques that social engineers are finding success with, how to implement these techniques and to create real-world simulated phishing email to test your employees and see how phish-prone they really are.

As organizations build out their infrastructure across public, private and hybrid platforms, security architects need to extend their enterprise security policies and protocols to all workloads, no matter where they reside. Still, security operations teams are challenged with proactively detecting threats, deviations from organizational policies and violations of industry and organizational compliance for mission-critical applications in the cloud. Why is that? Join Gigamon and (ISC)2 on September 6, 2018 at 1:00PM Eastern where we’ll explore ways to assure compliance and decrease time to detect threats in mission-critical applications, reduce risk by leveraging a common platform across your entire IT environment and ensuring SLAs are met by tightly integrating the public cloud provider’s APIs and critical cloud provider services to automatically detect changes in virtual private clouds and virtual networks.

No matter how much security technology we purchase, we still face a fundamental security problem: people. People can be manipulated every day and in many ways; from the tactics used by car dealers, to sophisticated social engineering and online scams. Part 1 of KnowBe4’s 3 part series will This webinar will explore the different levers that social engineers and scam artists pull to make us more likely to do their bidding and how to ethically use these same levers when educating users.

The long tail of SaaS is growing rapidly. Today, thousands of unmanaged "Shadow IT" applications are used in every major enterprise around the globe and IT departments have little visibility or control over these rogue apps. While the challenge was first simply to secure major SaaS platforms like Office 365, the new reality is a “cloud and mobile-first world” where employees often use new applications that aren’t approved and put corporate data at risk. Join Bitglass and (ISC)2 on August 9, 2018 at 1PM Eastern for the final part of this Security Briefings series where we’ll discuss how leading organizations are evolving their security to solve these challenges, what organizations are prioritizing when evaluating a solution and how zero-day technologies built for a cloud-first world are able to identify, categorize, and secure unknown apps.
