Join the cyber conversation at RSA Conference 2017. View the panel sessions with the industry's top security experts. Watch exclusive video interviews with the game-changing thinkers. Learn the trends in interactive presentations and discover the key insights discussed at the event.

The RSA conference is a unique and valuable event for IT security experts from around the world. With cyber-attacks on the rise, securing your data is more imperative than ever. The RSA conference pointed out that revisions to PCI (Payment Card Industry) DSS (Data Security Standard) is increasingly focusing on Rugged DevOps or SecDevOps, and the different approach called DevSecOps, embracing the speed of DevOps and continuous delivery in a secure environment. DevOps does affect security, and you can use it to your advantage. As cloud, big data and DevOps disrupt traditional approaches to security, new capabilities emerge to automate and enhance security operations.
Join this session and learn how to automatically address these data security blind spots and how security can be built into the development process and IT platforms. We will discuss how security can be built into Rugged DevOps,SecDevOps, DevSecOps, Scrum, SAFe, DAD and use in Large-scale Development.

BrightTALK at RSA 2017: Gary Hayslip, CISO of San Diego on the 2017 Threatscape

Noise is the enemy of breach detection and response. After a major data breach it is often the case that signs of an attacker existed, but were buried in thousands of other security alerts that were mainly false positives. 

With machine learning, meaningful signs of an attack are more easily detected and isolated, so a security operator can focus on precisely the right issue.

This session will examine:
- The problem of noise 
- The role of machine learning in sifting through vast amounts of data to get to the fidelity needed to detect an attacker 
- Best practices for including machine learning in your security operations

[Video Interview] Digital Shadows: GDPR, Cyber Security & Politics and more

The traditional security perimeter is proving to no longer be an effective cyber security control and fast growing technologies, such as cloud, mobile and virtualization make the boundaries of an organization blurry. 

For many years, organizations have protected their valuable and sensitive information by building a fence around assets, and all of the data that flowed in and out was either via a single internet access point or on physical devices. 

This meant that a traditional perimeter was an effective measure as the boundaries were known. As long as the internet access was controlled by the data that flowed through it, it was possible to protect, monitor and control that data. 

Organizations protected internet access with firewalls, VPNs, access controls, IDS, IPS, SIEMs, email gateways, and so forth, building multiple levels of security on the so-called perimeter. On physical devices, systems management and antivirus protected those systems and kept them updated with the latest security patches. 

This is a traditional security approach, used for nearly 30 years. However, in today’s world it is no longer effective alone. The perimeter has moved and we need to move with it.
 
During this session, attendees will learn about how identity and access management is evolving fast and becoming the new security perimeter, including:
 
• Why the traditional perimeter is no longer effective
• What hacker techniques are being used to compromise organizations
• What some governments are doing to protect their citizens
• Technologies that will help create the new cyber security perimeter

[Video Interview] Rami Mizrahi: Threat Detection, Nation-state Attacks and Yahoo

It’s that time of year again: RSA Conference 2017 is upon us. The trends in the security industry are moving more quickly than ever, and the newest methods of preventing cyberattacks have quickly shifted away from solely building walls of defense and into analytics of the data gathered about your network and the way users and attackers use it. 

But what about the tried and true methods for thwarting hackers like traditional Vulnerability Management programs? Many organizations have allowed their VM programs to languish and become ineffective because it’s often seen as too old of a technology and too difficult to make successful. 
 
But that’s only because they’ve really never done it right. 
 
Join Nathan Wenzler, Principal Security Architect at AsTech Consulting, to learn why Vulnerability Management is still a critically key component to a successful security program. 

This discussion will highlight:
- The issues that lead companies to ignore their VM programs
- Real-world examples and case studies of solutions you can use to resurrect one of the best tools in your security arsenal

About the Presenter:
Nathan Wenzler is the Principal Security Architect at AsTech Consulting, a leading information security consulting firm. Wenzler has nearly two decades of experience designing, implementing and managing both technical and non-technical solutions for IT and Information Security organizations.

ITSPmagazine chats with Demetrios Lazarikos (Laz), InfoSec Strategist and Founder of BlueLava.

Here are a few highlights from our conversation with Laz:

- Laz provides three tips for CISOs as their role changes:
1/ Start learning how to present your information in business terms to your executive leadership team and/or board. Present in terms they will understand.
2/ Share & collaborate with other CISOs because threats are leapfrogging each other.
3/ Attend conferences and read up on different programs & strategies. Stay current with articles and subscriptions. Take a step back and block out time for yourself.

- Be more engaged & build relationships within your company. Partner with legal or the board. Try creating a security committee.

- Organizations need to understand that security education is an investment that is going last a long time.

- As an adjunct professor at Pepperdine University, Laz is coaching and mentoring the next generation of business leaders. He helps them understand IT, security, data analytics and enterprise architecture, not in technical terms but understanding why they should build this as a part of their business or framework.
