Seattle Children's Gains Complete Citrix VDI Visibility with ExtraHop

Groundbreaking new research from Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) shows that encryption is rolling out quickly, with 76% of respondents encrypting within the enterprise network, 71% within the data center, and 58% encrypting email, followed by 55% encrypting web services.

According to the survey of IT respondents responsible for security, companies are adopting wildly divergent strategies on what, where, and how much to encrypt, how to decrypt, and which standards to use.

It’s not a simple topic, especially when you add in factors including cloud, TLS 1.3, and regulations. The choices made in implementation can restrict incident response, business risk management, and application security. Poor decisions can be expensive and difficult to fix.

Join us for a practical discussion with EMA Research Director Paula Musich, ExtraHop Director of IT Operations Bri Hatch, and ExtraHop Head of Security Product Marketing Barbara Kay

- Research findings will help you gain support for a proactive plan and avoid retrofitting security
- Security pros will learn what to consider and prioritize and how to engage productively with IT

Things used to be simple. The Networking team focused on network performance and availability while Security teams dealt with threats to performance. Today, the growth of cloud, virtualization, and everything-as-a-service has changed all this, blurring the lines between NetOps and SecOps and creating a need for better alignment and sharing of data.

The experts from ExtraHop and Ixia will reveal new insights into best practices for alignment and delivering the right data—even if it’s the same data—to each team. They’ll cover:
- Changing focus and emerging challenges for networking, security, and cloud teams
- Actions to take to streamline operations
- Tips for improving performance and security

In the past, the IT security department focused most of its efforts on building and managing a secure "perimeter" and spent most of its time managing passwords and access control lists. Today, however, the security operations center (SOC) has become a place for not only building a strong defense against the latest attacks, but for analyzing and responding to new attacks that have evaded traditional defenses. Hear war stories and recommendations in SOC operations –including how to prepare.

While some innovations deliver material benefit, many aren’t worth your POC time. In this webinar, featured speaker Chris Kissel, Research Director, Security Products and head of the IDC security analytics and orchestration practice, will present new research on what will disrupt, what will innovate, and what will merely evolve in the security analytics market over the next several years. Futurescape trends provide insights on the best ideas enhancing incident detection and response and provide a look at the ideal use cases for the most beneficial new technologies.

The shortage of skilled security professionals won’t end anytime soon, but you can improve your incident response (IR) capabilities now by taking advantage of your network traffic for early detection and more investigation. In this webinar, EMA Managing research Director David Monahan will join ExtraHop CIO John Matthews to explain how you can make your staff more productive by automatically prioritizing your most critical assets, providing context to alerts, and putting full transaction details at the fingertips of analysts during investigations.

The network doesnt lie. Thats one reason companies are increasingly turning to their network to simplify and speed up common SOC workflows. Network Traffic Analytics (NTA) specifically addresses key SOC challenges identified in the recent SANS SOC survey: Asset discovery and inventory, event correlation, and SOC/NOC integration.

The NTA category is relatively new and focuses on facilitating detection and response of post-compromise activity, including command and control, reconnaissance, lateral movement, and exfiltration. Organizations primarily use NTA to gain visibility into East-West traffic within the environment, though it can also heighten visibility of North-South traffic traversing the perimeter. NTA tools complement log data and endpoint instrumentation with an objective view of threat behavior on the network, and dramatically reduce the time to detect and respond to threats.

In this webcast, we'll cover:

∙ How your peers are using NTA technology to focus on what matters
∙ The impact of forward secrecy and TLS 1.3 encryption on network analysis
∙ How NTA can simplify CIS Critical Security Controls 1 and 2
∙ Boosting the productivity and expertise of junior analysts
∙ A live demo showing how ExtraHop Reveal(x) speeds key workflows

As the network perimeter melts away, SOCs have no choice but to evolve. The use of cloud, mobile, personal and Industrial IoT are but a few of the technology innovations forcing this evolution. In this webcast, learn the tools and technologies SOCs are deploying to integrate and manage all their security, operational and response data for better protection, detection and response.

In this webcast, SANS Principal Instructor Chris Crowley will discuss the results of the SANS 2018 SOC Survey, including:

Differences between SOCs that identify as MSSPs and SOCs that do not identify as MSSPs
Tools and technologies used to prevent, detect and respond to attacks
SOCs' likelihood to address IoT and non-traditional IT
Integration between tools for needed data sharing before, during and after events
Automated and manual actions taken and the value of both
Challenges holding organizations back from fully realizing SOC usefulness

While SOCs are maturing, staffing and retention issues continue to plague critical SOC support functions. In this webcast, learn how respondents to our 2018 SOC survey are staffing their SOCs, the value of cloud-based services to augment staff and technology, and respondents' level of satisfaction with the architectures they've deployed.

In this webcast, SANS Principal Instructor Chris Crowley will discuss the following:

The level of staffing in SOCs
Outsourcing part (or all) of the SOC architecture
Tools and technologies SOCs use to operate efficiently
The value of distributed vs. centralized SOC functions
Relationship between SOCs and NOCs
Improvements resulting from integrative SOC functions for detection, prevention and response

They say “Packets don’t lie”. Instead of waiting to respond to incidents and anomalies, SecOps teams are using the network to enable proactive measures such as threat hunting, auditing encryption and other suspicious and out-of-policy behaviors existing in the dark alleys of the traffic corridor. Real time network traffic analytics (NTA) tools can help an organization shift from defensive to offensive and cut investigation time, enabling analysts to quickly correlate activities and test hypotheses. Join ExtraHop and (ISC)2 on August 2, 2018 at 1:00PM Eastern as we discuss proactive measures that can work for an organization, what activities to look for and how machine learning can help speed up these efforts.
