An important part of RSAC 2020 focused on Business-Critical Application Security and we're seeing a transformational shift in technology. The enterprise architecture we used to know is changing. Cloud application development is accelerating and diversifying where many organizations have virtual machines, containers, and now serverless applications running in the cloud, transforming code into infrastructure. Microservices make a lot of sense for scale and development agility, but if everything is talking to everything else via APIs, it’s likely that there are many (and I mean many) application vulnerabilities. Additionally, API security is new, so processes are likely immature, and API security sits somewhere between application developers, DevOps, and cybersecurity, leading to organizational and skills challenges. We will organize this chaos from RSAC and discuss Security in The API Ecosystem.

Security is morphing to a hybrid model for distributed policy enforcement across cloud-based environments. At the same time, organizations want central policy management for the whole environment.

Join this webinar to learn more about what attendees found interesting at RSAC USA 2020:
- Emerging Privacy Issues
- The Human Factor
- Advancements in Machine Learning
- Security in App Development
- Trends from the Innovation Sandbox
- New Standards and Regulations
- Security for The API Economy

As organizations evolve and become more connected, their reliance on third-party ecosystems continues to grow. While these business relationships undoubtedly add value, they also introduce significant new risk and compliance challenges. The third-party risk management process is complex and involves more stakeholders and data sources than many people may think including: cyber risk information, supply chain, financial, IT, compliance, legal, and privacy risk data. But even with loads of available data, it’s extremely difficult for risk teams to know how to prioritize risk and focus remediation and response efforts without the proper context or processes.

As a result risk management teams are turning to governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) solutions to help centralize all of this information in order to gain a more holistic view of their third-party ecosystem. Cyber third-party risk data is a critical piece of the puzzle to a holistic third-party risk program within a GRC solution. Having access to a threat-centric view of cyber risk provides risk management teams with real-time insights that enable them to make faster, more confident decisions and effectively manage third-party risk.

On this CPE accredited webinar our panel of experts will address how to bring threat intelligence into the third-party risk management process and discuss:

- The importance of holistic risk management and sustainable ongoing monitoring,
- How to incorporate external content sources and create a centralized data repository for a more holistic view of your vendors,
- Ways to advance your third-party risk maturity with threat intelligence.

A little discipline goes a long way when moving to the public cloud.

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
