FireMon delivers continuous security for hybrid enterprises through a powerful fusion of vulnerability management, continuous compliance and orchestration. Since creating the first-ever network security management solution, FireMon solutions have continued to deliver visibility into and control over complex network security infrastructure, policies and risk for more than 1,700 customers around the world.

Currently, organisations are drowning in network complexity, lack the visibility to keep up, and enable business operations as networks evolve in this unusual time. Compliance requirements keep changing and cyber-attacks just won’t quit.

It is impossible to secure unknown IP devices without real-time visibility, meaning all organisations are open to breach however comprehensive their security stack may be.

In this session our expert presenters will discuss:

•Gaining real-time discovery and visibility that can eliminate blind spots in your network infrastructure. 
•Identifying and securing unknown, rogue/shadow networks and endpoints while tracking constant changes based on enterprise mobility, virtualization, cloud-based infrastructure, and software-defined networking (SDN).
•Finding the elusive **40%+ of unknown IP devices in current network security stacks, which threat actors exploit to compromise and eventually breach enterprises.
•How to better protect networks, endpoints and IoT devices while extending visibility and monitoring cloud environments.

Transformation Demands Real-time Discovery and Visibility

How policy automation can help security adjust to today’s environment  

Learn from our expert panel how Security Policy Automation can help you deliver speed AND security to your organisation – enabling corporate adoption of agile technologies and platforms easier, without losing control or increasing risk. In today’s exceptional times, you should not have to choose between business agility OR security – so why not provide both? Business demands, regulatory requirements and evolving threats aren’t going away, so it’s time to chance the game for Security Operations. 

During this live webinar, cybersecurity experts will provide real world examples, in-depth insights and innovative ways to move at velocity without sacrificing security. Policy Automation can provide real business value, faster than you think. 

This webinar will cover:
•Use cases for policy management automation (e.g., automating gold standard best practices, global overarching rules, and rapid approval processes for faster deployments).
•How automation can help you leverage innovation while reducing security and compliance risk.
•Automated responses for triggers like new apps or services, routine changes to apps or services, or new security threats.

Policy Automation – The New Normal

Whenever you see a spike in adoption of any technology you can be sure that security vulnerabilities soon follow.  In the rush to “get IT done” we neglect to “make IT secure”.  We have observed, as the pandemic takes hold, cloud adoption is accelerating, and this considerable growth reported by cloud vendors confirms this. This acceleration of adopting the cloud has resulted in cloud security misconfigurations. These misconfigurations are due to a lack of visibility into what is occurring in these environments. Therefore, we can expect security vulnerabilities. But these are in the cloud, and attackers seem to be even more active than ever right now.  And think about this, a network security mistake in the cloud may introduce and amplify unintended risk to your organization and customers. 

We will examine to most frequent network security mistakes associated with cloud adoption, including:
1.VM remote administration exposed to the Internet
2.Storage resources exposed to the Internet
3.Unprotected 2nd tier microservices
4.Unprotected cloud resource authorization keys
5.Insecure and unshielded container and orchestration infrastructure
6.Misconfiguration of cloud security groups and controls
7.Unprotected, insecure API
8.Lack of understanding of complex cloud resource interaction
9.Access that violates internal or regulatory compliance standards

Some are similar to normal on-premise network security issues but others are highly arcane to the cloud and you might never have thought of them.  As much as possible I’ll provide real world examples.  My guest, from our sponsor FireMon, Josh Williams, is a subject matter expert in empowering organizations to identify and mitigate risk within their network infrastructure. Josh will briefly discuss how organizations leveraging public and private clouds, need regular modifications to the network configuration, and user access to keep up with business needs and avoid the consequences of misconfigurations.

Top 9 Network Security Vulnerabilities Common to the Cloud

Your path to cloud computing may encounter roadblocks when it comes to security, compliance, cost and more. But never fear—this webinar will discuss concepts to help you breeze past these obstacles and arrive at your cloud destination in record time.

Join us as we discuss how to tackle the top 5 biggest roadblocks to workload migration:

•Cyberattacks
•Compliance Challenges
•Hidden Costs 
•Lack of Visibility
•Internal Politics

Overcome Your Cloud Roadblocks

Healthcare organizations are trusted by their patients to be custodians for massive amounts of highly confidential data: health records, payment details and other identifiable information. The unfortunate drumbeat of headlines serves as a stark reminder that this data is highly valued on the black market, making healthcare one of the most targeted industries by hackers and other cyber-criminals. 

With this level of risk, many healthcare leaders struggle to align budget to address this risk, instead focusing on digital transformation initiatives that modernize the network environment. With a goal to automate processes and apply cutting edge technology and access throughout the facility, compliance-driven security is often an after-thought.

This session will introduce the concept of persistent network security and what it looks like and discuss the considerations necessary to build a culture of compliance marked by an approach to automation designed to mitigate risk.

Creating a Culture of Compliance

From increasing complexity and scale, to lack of automation and integration, to decreasing budgets and staffing shortages - hybrid cloud is continuing to have a growing impact on enterprise security and IT teams. While enterprises increasingly transition to public and hybrid cloud environments, their network complexity continues to grow and create security risks. Meanwhile, they are losing the visibility needed to protect their cloud systems. FireMon conducted the second annual State of Hybrid Cloud Report, polling over 500 security professionals, and Tim Woods, VP of Technical Alliances, will present and discuss the findings.

- 78.2% of security practitioners use two or more different vendors for enforcement points
- 65.4% indicate that they use manual processes in their hybrid environment
- 69.5% have a security team of 10 people or less (compared to 52% in 2019)
