The need for structured IR readiness process that addresses both on-premises and cloud environments is clearer than ever before. In this session, an incident responder and cloud security architect will share their personal experiences in defending against nation-state attacks. 

Through real-life case studies, they will cover best practices for Incident Response methodology and tools that stand the test of nation-state attacks. They will then present how this battle-tested but traditional approach to IR is challenged with the introduction of cloud computing. Finally, they are introducing a a battle-proven framework to enhance your IR capabilities in the cloud.

Is your IR ready for cloud? Lessons from the front lines of nation-state attacks

Modern IT environments are complex. Organizations have logs and telemetry from thousands of devices, dozens of tools, covering both on-premises and cloud solutions. It’s hard enough to collect all this data in one place, knowing how to begin can also be daunting. 

This talk presented by industry thought leader John Bambenek will cover practical examples and techniques to dig into the security data of an organization to start hunting for otherwise unknown threats. Armed with this knowledge, teams can realize the goal of building their own detection techniques to find the threat actors that slip through their defenses.

Hunting for the unknowns...Where to start?

Tune into this webinar from industry thought leader Vincent Amanyi as he establishes assumptions and iterates a clear pathway to develop your security analytic requirements. 

Attendees will come away from this session with knowledge to:

Compute express link (CXL) technology is rushing onto the scene with a goal of changing the very nature of computer architecture. Not only does this interface support memory disaggregation, persistent memory, and nonuniform memory architectures (NUMA), but it also is being used to standardize the interface between chiplets, which should improve processor cost/performance while creating more diversity in processor types.

Members of the storage and computing communities must understand CXL if they want to keep up with tomorrow’s most productive computing configurations.

This presentation will begin with a brief CXL tutorial, to explain what it is and why it is needed, and then moves to use cases and the various configurations that the new protocol supports.  Attendees will learn:
- Why CXL came into being, and what memory models it supports.
- The problem of “stranded” memory, and how CXL addresses it.
- How CXL benefits the adoption of storage class memory.
- CXL’s use in the UCIe chiplet interface.
- What storage admins must prepare for as CXL rolls out.

Cloud storage providers and anyone developing enterprise data centers have an unprecedented array of new technologies to choose from to build their next-generation environments. These new technologies present more potential permutations to work with, enabling even greater opportunities for optimization.  

 Adding additional virtualization and acceleration technologies presents more flexibility and options to build a custom configuration, but doing so increases the management challenges exponentially. With the proliferation of different technologies and multiple vendors, standards-based management is more critical than ever to successfully develop, integrate, deploy, and manage systems and storage at scale.

This session will provide an overview of:
- The latest technologies in storage for virtualization, acceleration, and fabrics.
- The organizations delivering standards-based management.
- A discussion of open-source projects delivering value-add using standards-based management.

Why storage management standards matter in complex virtualized environments

The 24x7 threat of a data breach is making more CISOs hyper-focused on securing cloud-resident sensitive data, as this data is a prime target for malicious actors. Its presence poses a huge risk, especially for model-driven organizations with hybrid and multi-cloud environments.  

Join Jack Poller (Senior Analyst at ESG), Bernard Brantley (CISO of Corelight), Rahul Gupta (Head of Security & GRC at Sigma), and Amer Deeba (CEO of Normalyze) in an interactive panel as these security leaders share insights on: 

• Why the security of cloud-resident data is a key concern for CISOs
• How enterprises are shifting security strategies with more emphasis on protecting cloud-resident sensitive data 
• Selecting an effective framework for cloud data security
• Top three best practices to help security teams be more effective at protecting sensitive cloud data

CISOs Take on Cloud Data Security: Best Practices, Challenges, & Attack Trends

What we are hearing from CISOs, Nick Lantuh, Co-founder & CEO of Interpres Security explains, is that cybersecurity has become too costly, complicated, siloed, and requires significant manual engineering to succeed using current methods. These issues dovetail with the competing objectives to secure your organization from large-scale attacks, while simultaneously optimizing costs in today’s budget constrained environment.

A threat-centric cybersecurity approach holds the key to resolving many of these issues, in which defense surface management is key. Tune in as Lantuh and an ESG analyst deconstruct this topic in the following Fireside Chat.

Additional agenda topics include:
•     Why defense surface management is needed in today’s security environments
•     Defense Surface Management concept and origins
•     Steps organizations can take to validate their security strategies
•     How continuous monitoring improves the security posture

A Threat Centric Approach to Cybersecurity

PCI Data Security Standard is a global standard for protecting account data. The latest version PCI-DSS v4.0 was finalized last year. This new standard impacts on every organization and company in the world that accepts debit or credit card payment.
