Increasing expectations for good data governance, effective risk management and complex demands for legislative and regulatory compliance are presenting a growing challenge for organizations of all sizes. Tune in to live and recorded presentations by respected luminaries in the fields of governance, risk and compliance for insights on how to implement successful GRC strategies and processes for your organization.

According to The Life and Times of Cybersecurity Professionals 2021 report by the Information Security Systems Association, the ongoing cybersecurity skills crisis has steadily continued for over five years. Organizations are consistently on the prowl for talented cybersecurity professionals to combat increasingly prevalent and sophisticated cyber attacks. However, is hiring the “best fit” the only option organizations have to address the ongoing cybersecurity skills shortage? 

After working alongside the constant cybersecurity skills shortage, CISOs understand that only looking to hire talent won’t cure the longstanding problem. So how are security executives addressing the growing need for cybersecurity skills? Join Hosts Dan and Earl with guests as they take a deeper look into the cybersecurity skills shortage and:

- Innovative new strategies organizations are utilizing to tackle the cybersecurity skill shortage from integrated security architectures to partnerships with third party services or vendors
- Investing in IT and security staff through cybersecurity training
- Embracing automation and analytics to streamline security processes

The Cybersecurity Skills Shortage: Why, How, and What To Do About It

The increasingly distributed nature of the modern enterprise is making zero-trust security approaches more relevant than ever. In this research-led session, John Grady, ESG Principal Analyst, will focus on how organizations are thinking about, planning for, and implementing zero trust across their environments.


Join to find out how zero trust can provide a framework to secure even the most complex environments, whether implementing least-privilege tenets for user access or securing the connections to and between the disparate aspects of today’s hybrid multi-cloud deployments. You'll learn exactly what a zero-trust initiative should entail, where to begin, and how best to overcome the organizational obstacles that result from such a cross-functional undertaking.

Zero Trust Security Strategies to Safeguard the Enterprise

As organizations are looking for ways to stay on top of an evolving threatscape, many are
looking towards AI to enhance their security strategies and fend off cyber attacks before they
happen. In the 2022 CIO and Technology Executive Survey by Gartner, 66% of respondents
reported that they expected to increase cyber and information security investments for the
next year. More than half of respondents reported that they planned to heavily invest in
business intelligence and data analytics.

However some security leaders are cautious about adding artificial intelligence into their
security arsenal. Despite rapid advancements in AI, these solutions can also come with their
own unique set of drawbacks. Some skeptics say that AI technology is still immature and
that there may be simpler, more cost-effective solutions. With all the interest surrounding AI
in cybersecurity, it’s important for organisations to establish realistic expectations.

Join this panel to learn more about:
- The current state of AI in security
- What CISOs and their teams should keep in mind about AI
- How AI impacts your workforce strategy
- And more!

Speakers:
- Dan Lohrmann, Field CISO at Presidio
- Earl Duby, CISO at Lear Corporation
- Aidan Walden, Director, Public Cloud Architecture & Engineering at Fortinet
- Warsamé Ahmed, Co-Founder & CEO at BR[AI|YT.ai

Using AI in Cyber Security: Boon or Bust?

Secure access to cloud is broken. By now, you must already know that the traditional VPNs are the weakest links when it comes to secure access into your mission critical infrastructure. This is due to two fundamental flaws. 

VPN aka virtual private network, as it suggests, provides a virtual network extension over a secure link. That means, if the endpoint that is connecting over the VPN, is compromised, an attacker can gain secure access your infrastructure.

Once insider your network, the intruder now has the license to roam within the subnet/VLAN and, unless you have an error free setup, perhaps the intruder has the license to roam across the enterprise.
 
Time and again, we have witnessed VPNs being exploited by the adversaries and, if you want to stay protected, please ensure that you get off the traditional VPN train first.

The modern-day alternative to VPNs is called Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). However, the ZTNA solutions lack end to end segmentation. That means, if the attacker somehow gains access to one of your hosts over ZTNA, the attacker will then be able to roam laterally withing your organization. This is the predominant way for Ransomware to spread and compromise most of your assets.

What you need is a combination of modern Secure Access technology coupled with an agentless micro-segmentation solution and a potent incident response tool.
 
This will be the focus of our session. In this session, you’d learn how to
• Provision agentless segmentation at scale across your organization for all your assets – TV, Toaster, Laptops, VMs, Servers, and even containers
• Gain end-to-end visibility and control for all traffic
• Secure high value assets distributed across your organization
• Deploy a Ransomware Kill Switch™ that prevents ransomware spread

The correct way to “Cloud-Access”

Working remotely has become the new normal. This, and many other changes organizations adopted last year in response to the pandemic are likely to stay for the long term. According to Gallup, about two-thirds of U.S. remote workers want to continue to work remotely. So, how can organizations continue to support their growing distributed workforce at a time where reports of security threats have increased by 400% compared to pre-pandemic levels? 

Here is where the zero-trust approach to security comes into play. 

Join this month's episode of The (Security) Balancing Act with Diana Kelley and guests as they discuss the emergence of zero trust (“Trust Nothing, Verify Everything”) and what it helps achieve for enterprises in the age of cloud and remote work.

Viewers will learn about:
- The evolution of the security perimeter and the shift to zero trust
- Why zero trust is an approach and not a product
- Zero Trust Network Access (ZTA) vs. corporate VPN
- Real-world stories and practical hands-on guidance from people who have deployed a ZTA

Speakers:
- Mari Galloway, CEO, Women's Society of Cyberjutsu
- Jonathan Nguyen Duy, Vice President, Global Field CISO Team, Fortinet
- Bob Rudis, Chief Data Scientist, Rapid7

Zero Trust for the New Normal

Phishing and ransomware attacks continue to rise, according to Proofpoint’s State of the Phish report for 2020. Organizations in the U.S. are at risk, the increase in remote work due to the pandemic has fueled a spike in attacks, and phishing attempts are up by 14 percent compared to the previous year. 

Email continues to be the number 1 delivery vehicle, but other social engineering schemes that rely on social media, voicemail (“vishing"), SMS phishing (“smishing”), and malicious USB drops are also of concern for organizations. Ransom demands are also on the rise, but according to the report, paying the ransom is not guaranteed to work as many companies that paid the ransom failed to receive a decryption key. 

Join this month's episode of The (Security) Balancing Act as Diana Kelley and guests discuss why ransomware is surging again, which sectors are most at risk, the threat to enterprises and how it is being used for more than just ransom (ex: distractionware, destructionware, etc).
- The rise in ransomware under the cloak of the pandemic 
- Why email continues to be the channel of choice 
- The difference between fully automated and human-operated campaigns
- How to decide whether or not to pay or not to pay the ransom
- Why your backups may not be immune to ransomware
- Addressing the threat with best practices

Speakers
-  Nicole Hoffman, Intelligence Analyst, GroupSense 
-  Courtney Radke, CISO for National Retail, Fortinet 
-  Patrick Lee, Senior Incident Response Consultant, Rapid7

Ransomware in the Remote Work Era

Requiring non-security specialists to describe their posture and informing the management hierarchies on our current security posture is difficult. The language is foreign and does not lend itself to exactness. The eternal question is “Are we secure? The expected answer then cannot be “It depends…”, but rather an aggregated statement, very close to a single “Yes” or “No”. 

In case of a negative response, it is also expected to hear of the gaps and the plans to fill them to become secure again.

 

To accomplish this aggregated statement, a traditional assurance cycle of up to a year is too slow. The product owners need to have security activities in their backlog, they need to know when circumstances change to be able to address them based on risk. The management hierarchy needs to be informed with the current security posture and what implications that brings.


The road to prevent breaches is paved with measurements, a quick feed-back loop and AI assisted decision making. All meant to push security decisions out in the organization.

Here one could add the analogy of driving a car, where the driver, or senior manager, has to take decisions based on situational awareness and information provided by the car. The driver does not need to know the exact oil pressure or the cooling temperature, but rather if it has reached a hazardous level. The driver cannot base decisions on oil pressure solely by dipping the stick before starting the journey, which would be equivalent to classic compliance.

To prevent breaches senior management need to know that circumstances have changed, when they change, and ultimately that they are about to change.


In this webinar you will be inspired by a Proof of Concept and an idea of how to implement and extend it.

The Future is Identity-Centric

If you don’t fix your security vulnerabilities, attackers will exploit them. It’s simply a matter of who finds them first. If you fail to prove that your software is secure, your sales are at risk, too. 
 
Whether you’re a technology executive, developer, or security professional, you are responsible for securing your application. However, maybe you’re uncertain about what works, what doesn’t, how hackers exploit applications, or how much to spend. Or, maybe you think you do know, but don’t realize what you’re doing wrong.
 
To defend against attackers, you must think like them. Join Ted Harrington, author of HACKABLE: How to Do Application Security Right and learn:
- how to eradicate security vulnerabilities
- establish a threat model
- build security into the development process 

You’ll leave knowing how to build better, more secure products, gain a competitive edge, earn trust, and win sales.

Succeeding as a CISO in 2021

In the shadow of the global pandemic and the associated economic downturn, organizations are focused on cost optimization, which often leads to impulsive decisions to deprioritize compliance with all nonrevenue programs. 

Regulators have evolved to adapt with the notable increase in data subject complaints and are getting more serious about organizations that don’t properly protect consumer data. Marriott was hit with a $124 million fine while Equifax agreed to pay a minimum of $575 million for its breach. The US Federal Trade Commission, the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and all 50 U.S. states and territories sued over the company’s failure to take “reasonable steps” to secure its sensitive personal data.
 
Privacy and data protection are enforced by a growing number of regulations around the world and people are actively demanding privacy protection — and legislators are reacting. More than 60 countries have introduced privacy laws in response to citizens’ cry for transparency and control. By 2023, 65% of the world’s population will have its personal information covered under modern privacy regulations, up from 10% today, according to Gartner. There is a convergence of data privacy principles, standards and regulations on a common set of fundamental principles.

The opportunities to use data are growing exponentially, but so too are the business and financial risks as the number of data protection and privacy regulations grows internationally.

Join this webinar to learn more about:
- Trends in modern privacy regulations
- The impact on organizations to protect and use sensitive data
- Data privacy principles
- The impact of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and data transfer between US and EU
- The evolving CCPA, the new PCI DSS version 4 and new international data privacy laws or regulations
- Data privacy best practices, use cases and how to control sensitive personal data throughout the data life cycle

All PCI and NOTHING about PCI DSS v4

The Cloudscape provisions a shared/split model for responsibility. This generally means that the cloud provider is responsible for certain layers of the environment. But the provided graphics are usually more IT focused than Information Security let alone Risk Management. The information security elements of cloud have been improving for years.  However, there are still areas that are light in detail or clarity This presentation will take you on a deeper dive of Cloud GRC. This presentation will use the premise of Platform (PaaS) clouds, as this model provides a clear “bang for the buck”. Other models (Infrastructure IaaS, Software SaaS) are do provide benefits, but at different specialization levels. In this conversation, we will discuss repercussions of the shared/split responsibility model.  In this webinar you will learn:

·         Viewpoint changes
·         To distinguish shared responsibility and shared risk
·         Changes to compliance and continuous monitoring
·         Changes to Risk management and assessment from shared/split responsibility model
·         and what you are (really) protecting

The Cloudscape GRC Landscape

Nothing stops threats earlier than DNS-layer network security. Today’s security appliances and agents have to wait until malware reaches the perimeter or endpoint before they can detect or prevent it. That’s not the case with OpenDNS.

DNS is known for being a fundamental component in how we connect to the Internet, but it’s also a revolutionary way of providing security visibility and enforcement—whether users are on or off the corporate network. With OpenDNS Umbrella, it’s also the fastest and easiest layer of security to deploy everywhere.

Join this webcast with David Ulevitch, founder of OpenDNS and Vice President of Cisco’s Security Business Group, as he explains:

-How DNS can be used for security beyond the firewall
-How OpenDNS Umbrella protects devices on and off the corporate network
-How easy it is for enterprises to deploy this additional layer of network security worldwide
