Dyn DDoS Attack - What We Know & Why It Matters

Securing Cloud and SaaS

Cyber attacks are growing daily, broadening in scope and the costs of a breach are skyrocketing. And here is the kicker, every industry from financial service to healthcare, to government to manufacturing are in the cross hairs. Even the great Warren Buffet recently said that every company is at risk.

Yes, The Oracle of Omaha is talking tech!

Cyber criminals have expanded every company’s attack surface by attacking networks, cloud, chips, IoT, mobile devices, applications and API’s. They are relentless. And now the regulators are beginning to pass state level regulations that will eventually hold all of our feet to the fire. Add all of this up and the future points to reality that every single company, regardless of size or industry, will need to do much more to protect themselves and their customers.

This presentation will cover:
- Cyber Risk Management
- How to mitigate risk
- Show real life case studies
- Six best practices to explore for your business

Cybersecurity monitoring is designed to complement, mirror and support your business operations. To create a data leadership position and innovation for your customers, the appropriate cybersecurity policies and solutions need to be in place that fit your specific business model. You need to be thoughtful about assembling a cybersecurity team configured to serve your specific company needs.

We will discuss how companies are designing their data leadership strategies based on cybersecurity requirements, looking at their internal staffing, technology sourcing and selection of 3rd party providers. Infrastructure expert, Dr. Alea Fairchild will be sharing industry trends based on Ecosystm research findings on cybersecurity solution selection.

Join this webinar to hear Alea, joined by a guest speaker from IBM Security, discuss how to profile your company’s cybersecurity requirements to seek out the best advisors, skill sets and MSSP solution providers to work with your own business model in a cyber secure manner.

They will explore how organizations can develop a fit for purpose cybersecurity strategy that grows with them in resilience while meeting the challenge of maturing security programs to scale with their business.

Key Takeaways:

1. Guidelines to grow a data leadership strategy in a non-highly regulated business.
2. Five essential questions to ask as you screen potential cybersecurity solution providers.
3. Why cyber resiliency is a more logical goal than being cyber secure.

Black hat actors continue to escalate the attack surfaces brought on by opportunities in emerging and matured technologies in Cloud, Internet of Things, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence. Several frameworks exist for managing Cyber Risks.

This presentation will answer these questions:

- How does your organization frame responses to these threats?
- What approach works best for your organization?
- What key elements make up an effective Cyber Risk Program?
- Which of these elements should be top priority?
- How dynamic is your Cyber Risk Management approach?

Common understanding of Internet of Things (IoT) includes smart devices, such as mobile phones, smart appliances, CPE networking devices and industrial sensors. However, the time is coming when dumb devices, such as tools, lab supplies, assembly parts, household items will join the IoT. If you are worried about IoT security now, imagine the scale and the magnitude of implications when the entire physical world gets included into the attack surface.

In this presentation we will describe a practical use-case, illustrate the limitations of current methods and discuss the ways to address them.

Companies are at risk when transitioning from traditional on-premise applications and infrastructure to cloud computing solutions.

It is critical that security and compliance be addressed in the cloud environment. Failure to ensure appropriate security and address compliance requirements may ultimately result in higher risks, costs and potential loss of business. Highly regulated companies should take a comprehensive approach to data privacy, security and compliance before moving systems to the cloud. This includes:

- Understanding the challenges of compliance on premise versus the cloud
- What security standards should be adopted in the cloud
- Demonstrating compliance: how to establish and maintain data privacy, security, and compliance in a cloud environment

Hybrid Cloud is the new normal for the modern Enterprise. Information Security departments have accepted that the perimeter is no longer defined by the network and that data protection is central to this new paradigm.

Are software-defined data controls across clouds and data centers weaker than traditional perimeter defenses? Not necessarily. In some cases they are actually stronger.

This talk is about the opportunities presented by today’s tools and how these apply to compliance. In particular how continuous compliance is now possible. We will also outline how this changes GRC processes and the role of security compliance in DevOps aka DevSecOps.

Topics covered include:

• What is Compliance and what should be included?
• Compliance Frameworks and Standards.
• What can we measure and test?
• How to tie together hybrid cloud compliance
• Access Controls, Infrastructure, Data and Policies
• DevSecOps
• Continuous Compliance

Suited to both buyers and sellers of cloud computing services, this webinar will cover some of the key regulatory aspects that are relevant in the specialized niche of cloud computing. We will first define what we mean by cloud computing, and then get into some of the specifics related to the rules and regulations surrounding it. In particular, we will focus on:

- Responsibilities of buyers and sellers of cloud computing services
- Rules and regulations that both parties must be aware of and adhere to
- How to deal with and handle some of the common issues and challenges that often arise in such outsourcing arrangements/relationships
- Roles, risks and responsibilities associated with cloud computing in small and large corporations
- How to simplify and streamline compliance with regulations when outsourcing to cloud compliance service providers

While it is impossible to cover every risk and regulation applicable to cloud compliance, participants in this talk will walk away with a fundamental understanding of some of the risks and challenges, as well as benefits, of cloud computing, and in particular will have a better understanding and frameworks to determine the extent (if at all) to which cloud computing is justifiable for specific functions/procedures within their organizations, with particular emphasis on the risks associated with non-compliance due to such things as: incomplete/unclear communication, incomplete/unclear understanding, incomplete/unclear due diligence, and incomplete/unclear oversight/audits.

This will be generalized advice, and our goal will be to focus on understanding the general policies and principles associated with cloud compliance, and so we will address some of the broad regulatory issues and challenges using specific situations and regulations as illustrative examples.

Cloud technology is revolutionising the way we work and communicate.This rapid advancement in technology has created sophisticated cyber threats. As the Cloud technology matures, so have the user expectations – there is an increased demand for trust and transparency.

This session will look at how the technology revolution has led to increased regulation and how cloud service providers can use this opportunity to turn compliance into a competitive advantage.

Many enterprises are leveraging multicloud deployments to get the best-of-breed features from many different providers. Hybrid cloud and multicloud have brought capability to businesses to be able to cover all aspects of their IT needs. However, they have also brought complexity in security requirements.

Usually, IT and security professionals mitigate any security concerns by creating a trust boundary between:

- The cloud and the user accessing via the internet

- The cloud and users accessing the enterprise network in hybrid architectures

- What is being missed is inter-cloud security considerations, potential threats, disparate support teams and governance.

In this webinar, Neil Briscoe will share real-life examples, highlighting potential issues and offering solutions for you to ensure your hybrid cloud and multicloud environments are fully secured.
