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?

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

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
