Tick, Tock: Just 1 Year to GDPR Enforcement – How to be technology ready

When 451 Research surveyed 1200 IT security professionals, including 400 across Europe, for the 2018 Thales Data Threat Report, we found that today’s threat environment, digital transformation initiatives and regulations are having a deep impact on enterprises. In 451 Research’s Analyst Garrett Bekker’s view – with a big disconnect around what is effective at preventing data breaches and where we’re spending our IT security dollars today. In this session, we’ll cover:

• The depth of the problem with data breaches – and the numbers around how deeply it has affected enterprises in Europe.
• How IT security spending is being prioritized today – and why that can be a problem.
• How adoption of cloud, containers, big data, IoT and other technologies add risk and complicate the data security picture – and what your peers would like to see to make this adoption safer
• Perceived barriers to use of data security tools, and whether these are still relevant – or relics of past experiences.
• Simple best practice recommendations that can enable you to evaluate your current stance, and improve it.

In today’s environment data protection is more critical than ever and businesses are responding. This 13th edition of the Global Encryption Trends Study, conducted by the Ponemon Institute and sponsored by Thales eSecurity, reveals how increased cloud use and accelerated compliance initiatives are driving adoption of new encryption strategies. Join Dr. Larry Ponemon and John Grimm to learn about some of the top findings in this year’s Global Encryption Trends Study, including:

• Growth in encryption and Hardware Security Module (HSM) usage
• The importance of performance, scalability and consistent policy enforcement across enterprise and cloud use cases for encryption solutions
• Trends in encryption deployment across multiple vertical markets and geographies that are useful for benchmarking

A complex dynamic of attack vectors threaten today’s IT environments like never before. Faced with this challenge, organizations need to protect their most sensitive applications and data without sacrificing business agility. Privileged Access Management (PAM) has emerged as an approach that can provide the best defense against potential attackers, by protecting all layers of the typical computing model. PAM solutions manage user access, safeguard file systems, ensure process segmentation, and provide encryption capabilities to protect users, assets, files, and applications. However, vulnerabilities can enable attackers to exploit privileged accounts, and abuse of these can open conduits for data breaches that threaten enterprise security.
As data breaches continue to make headlines, far-reaching security mandates such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are becoming stricter, forcing organizations to rethink their cybersecurity strategy.
This webinar will examine how organizations can strategically block threats along traditional computing models to fortify security without re-engineering applications, databases or infrastructure. The presentation will focus on secure access control, auditing, alerting, and recording of privileged account activity. Management of cryptographic keys that protect access credentials, and the protection of sensitive data to ensure that only authorized users and applications can be allowed to access these files, will also be discussed.

Join the webinar and learn how to:

• Manage all privileged user access and control file systems
• Establish a robust root of trust for credential management
• Enhance security with key management and encryption
• Facilitate security auditing and regulatory compliance
• Meet FIPS 140-2 and Common Criteria standards

Digital transformation is business enhancing and fraught with danger. With services moving online and into the cloud, the result is a faster, more agile and open service for consumers and enterprises. However, this digital transformation is taking place in an increasingly precarious environment, more and more your corporate attack surface is being exposed.

With data breaches at an all-time high and incidents of identity theft risen by 57% in a year, consumers are questioning the security of their personal data held by organisations. The rise of cloud and the Internet of Things, has forced companies to take control of their data – regardless of where it resides and in addition, reputational damage caused by public breach is firmly on the agenda of the board.

This webinar will consider:

• Key security considerations for a digital transformation strategy

• Why a proactive data defence strategy is crucial

• The benefits of maximising the level of control over data irrespective of where it is created, store or shared.

Digital transformation initiatives and increased threats have put enterprise data at risk more than ever, with 67% already experiencing a breach, and over half of those breaches in the last year. In this webinar Garrett Bekker, Principal Analyst for Information Security at 451 Research, details critical findings from the 2018 Thales Data Threat Report around the rise in data breach rates, what IT security pros around the world are doing to respond, and best practice recommendations for how to keep from becoming another statistic.

The digital transformation is driving massive turmoil. Organizations are having to face how they protect their data or be breached-again. Results of the recent 2018 Data Threat Report indicate continuing concern for insider attacks, with 51% of respondents citing privileged users as being the main threat.
Providing the proverbial “keys to the kingdom” that allow access to sensitive organizational resources, privileged accounts are top target for internal and external attacks.

As organizations increasingly use privileged accounts in a changing business environment, protecting the credentials, isolating and controlling sessions, and continuously monitoring operations is critical. This webcast will examine a typical use case in a healthcare environment, and illustrate how to protect privilege account credentials, passwords, and keys with applicability across industries.

Attend this webinar to learn how to:
• Deploy solution across organization without impacting operation
• Provide added security layer to privileged account management
• Protect and manage the critical cryptographic keys automatically
• Facilitate auditing and compliance with data security regulations
• Comply with FIPS 140-2 and Common Criteria security standards
