Key Steps to Implement & Maintain PCI DSS Compliance in 2017

The days of securing a well-defined perimeter around your organization are gone. The cloud, mobile technologies, the internet of things (IoT) and diverse user groups freely exchange data across digital ecosystems, network and economies. This fluidity, however, means that organizations must secure access at multiple points throughout the organization, or risk letting in intruders seeking to hijack data.

To manage the increasingly diverse digital landscape, IT and security managers need to move beyond usernames and passwords, and expand their use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) to help provide secure and convenient access to the critical data and systems users need. On this webinar our panel of experts will address how secure authentication can help enable GRC across the digital ecosystem, and they will share tips on:

- Securing access at all points across applications, devices, users and environments.
- Sharing insights across security systems to strengthen security.
- Collecting and analyzing information to stop attacks.
- How MFA can transform secure access—to any application, from any device, anywhere, at any time.
- Strengthening identity assurance with privileged users.

In today’s interconnected technology ecosystem, companies increasingly rely on third party vendors to meet their operational needs. However, the current state of vendor risk management (VRM) is bleak. More than half of all information security breaches are caused by third-party vendors, and according to Deloitte 83% of today’s business leaders lack confidence in third party VRM processes.

Understanding and managing cyber risk posed by vendors, suppliers, and third parties has proven to be a difficult task. The right mix of people, processes, and technology result in the most effective and comprehensive program. Join this CPE accredited panel webinar as our expert panel address some key steps to master VRM, including:

- Implementing a scalable VRM program from the ground up
- Mapping the digital supply chain
- Tips on managing vendor data
- Assessing third, fourth, and fifth-party risk
- Performing quantifiable vendor security analyses
- Establishing pre-procurement standards

In an age where cybersecurity threats are an everyday fact of life, organizations are looking for solutions that enable them to predict, prepare and react to the shifting landscape of cyber threats, and implementation of adaptive cyber security strategies is becoming inevitable to achieve that goal.

Adaptive cyber security methods allow for the simultaneous defense of multiple attack surfaces against this new wave of advanced cyber attacks targeting businesses and services. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework enables organizations — regardless of size, degree of cybersecurity risk, or cybersecurity sophistication — to apply the principles and best practices of risk management to improving security. Attend this CPE webinar to gain insights on:

- Getting a clear picture of the current health of your organizations' defenses
- Defining your security road map using NIST CSF as a framework
- Conducting gap analysis and executing remediation actions
- Mapping the NIST CSF with security controls and built-in reporting templates that align with the framework.

No organization’s suite of business applications is static, especially for businesses that have committed to non-stop innovation. It is not uncommon for businesses to integrate only their high-impact applications with their existing identity and access management (IAM) systems. This can cause a huge surge in manual work, and oftentimes enterprises dedicate hundreds of human agents to manage accounts, adding more as new business applications are added. Enterprises can sidestep significant costs, increase efficiency, manage risk and deliver undiscovered value, by properly leveraging automation technologies across IAM systems.

Robotic process automation (RPA) is a powerful technology that harmonizes different systems across an organization’s environment, reduces human errors, provides 24/7 operations, and relieves employees from repetitive tasks so they can focus on more valuable activities. For example, data quality management in the risk and compliance processs has been a traditional pain area for many institutions, as it is very time consuming and manual. However, a cognitive RPA solution which combines machine learning capabilities can enable fast automated remediation of data quality issues, and the system can learn from the final decisions taken by the data analyst as well. Attend this CPE webinar for insights on:

- Getting started with an access management program.
- Evaluating the right configuration and system-based tools to automate processes at a task level, and align to your process automation strategy.
- Leveraging advanced analytics in risk management, compliance, and continuous monitoring programs.
- Embedding governance, risk management, and controls into your enterprise’s mobilization and deployment of RPA, so you can catch issues before they arise.
