The APT tornado is getting larger, is gathering speed, and we're all in its path of destruction. Perimeter security and simple encryption don’t cut it. Perimeter security is irrelevant when the threat is inside, while simple encryption gives a false sense of security since it lacks the policy control to protect against privileged user exploitation. Moreover, while many believe that compliance equals safety, it doesn't. "Check box" security may give comfort, but like a placebo, it offers limited real protection against today’s sophisticated cyber-attacks. As the APT landscape evolves, the risk to valuable data is always present, so enterprises need to take a data-centric protection approach, adding defense layers around the very thing that matters most: sensitive data. Join us as we discuss the best ways to reduce the attack surface of APTs and that yield high-value security intelligence.
 

 

Disarming today’s security threats before they do damage takes superior defenses. But today's enterprises can't overlook the importance of a good offense. In this session, Greg Garcia, principal at Garcia Cyber Partners and member of the federal government’s Information Security and Privacy Advisory Board, shares key tactics designed to help organizations establish proactive “Advanced Persistent Security," or around-the clock, proactive monitoring and management based on the notion that attacks have already infiltrated the perimeters. Greg will outline critical steps government and the private sector can take to work together, share sensitive but relevant information, and establish a collective knowledge base -- all in an effort to aggressively mitigate security risks and vulnerabilities.

Join us for this lightning round of 15-minute, rapid-fire presentations designed to inform and educate on a variety of cybersecurity challenges and solutions.

 

Now that information security is a boardroom topic, how can CISOs show value to their organizations in meaningful ways?  In this session, Ron Murchison, VP of Products , shares techniques to elevate security strategies and tactics in a way that demonstrates greater business value, makes it easier to defend and acquire resources, and contributes to the success of your organization.


 

Reducing Cost with Employee and Customer-Facing Security Services
The risks related to identity fraud and data loss, along with the challenges of assessing each transaction, often inhibit organizations from realizing the cost savings of bringing critical services online. Join us as we discuss how to confidently bring more services online while simultaneously managing risk.
Driving Operational Efficiencies Through Privileged Access
Today's enterprises are motivated to find operational efficiencies -- often by leveraging data center consolidation, lowering the cost of resources and licenses, and increasing staff productivity.  Yet consolidation presents new challenges in the form of multi-tenancy and disappearing physical boundaries — all of which beg the need for alignment of objectives between system administrators and application administrators.  At the same time, privileged access can be a pivotal tool in this process.  Join us as we discuss privileged access, and related strategies to create better efficiencies and alignment.

When deploying application workloads to a remote cloud environment, security is naturally a critical consideration.  While one key factor is the operational security of the cloud service provider, another is the layered deployment of logical security controls.  What are the best practices for maintaining defense-in-depth security?  Join us as we share examples of common control deployments and how they are often implemented in cloud environments.
