When Tinfoil Hats Aren't Enough: Effective Defenses Against Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) > Download Presentation
You probably know about the threat posed by APTs. You also may know that most experts will tell you that there are no cost-effective ways to completely prevent a determined attacker from getting into your systems. So what to do? Since returning to an agrarian society is likely not a viable option, this presentation will cover common APT techniques and ways to detect those techniques in action and rapidly react. We'll talk about how to leverage the Identity-powered enterprise to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of prevention, detection, and response.

Maintaining a Security Organization That Can Adapt to Change  > Download Presentation
According to Forrester Research, 51% of organizations say it’s a challenge or major challenge to hire and keep security staff with the right skills. This becomes especially challenging in a constantly changing organization managing acquisitions, changing business objectives, and rapid growth. While investing in security technology is important to stay ahead of threats, failure to invest properly in your people can introduce systemic and cultural risk that can be more challenging to manage than technical threats. This presentation will discuss the keys to not only getting the best people, but keeping them. Mr. Lenoe will share Adobe’s experiences in managing this very challenging problem along with what we have learned as we have built up our security organization to adapt to our cloud-focused future.

Using Security Intelligence for a Competitive Advantage  > Read Summary
Harnessing the power of analytics is nothing new for today’s enterprise IT organizations. The same practices can be put to work for security — analyzing vast quantities of data to find the types of clues and irregularities that could signal an attack. This approach to security analytics is becoming a central aspect of enterprise security as organizations learn they must extend far beyond the traditional perimeter approach to gain complete visibility across the IT infrastructure in order to detect and disrupt attacks. Join the conversation to learn more about this shifting approach to security and why mining Big Data for clues to enable enterprise security action can give you a competitive advantage.

Secrets to Achieving End-to-End Email Security  > Read Summary
Securing your infrastructure is essential in protecting your customers, but malicious attacks can affect users without even entering your network. The Anti-Phishing Working Group reported 72,758 phishing attacks targeting more than 700 institutions worldwide during the first half of 2013 alone. As Verizon's Data Breach Report shows, 95% of all data breaches begin with a phishing email — evidence that comprehensive ecosystem visibility, email intelligence, and real-time alerting and reporting are imperative to thwarting these attacks. Join our conversation to take a deep dive into advanced email security methodology and learn best practices to achieving end-to-end email security in order to protect your customers and enable business.

The Growing Complexity of IT Security: How Do We Manage?  > Read Summary
IT Security is undoubtedly a cat and mouse game. As technology threats grow in complexity, security leaders work tirelessly to develop new methods for identifying and thwarting attacks. But the fact remains— there is no such thing as absolute security. In the future, IT-dependent societies must be capable of withstanding an attack, or surviving an attack and recovering, without the descent into chaos. Join us to take a deep dive into the concept of developing and maintaining resilience as a central focus for your contemporary security strategy.

CISO as a Salesman: Win Support for Your Key Initiatives  > Read Summary
Major information security initiatives can be costly. InfoSec executives too often find that their organization’s leadership may not see the initial financial investment in security as business critical…at least not until data or infrastructure is compromised. A CISO must lead efforts to build consensus for security as a priority in the enterprise by selling the board and c-suite on the benefits of a proactive approach. Join our conversation to learn how to build your business plan, engage the different stakeholders and influence key decision makers — who may not have a technology or security background — in order to gain support and approval for the investment and implementation of vital security initiatives.

Collaboration – The Future of Security & Innovation
In 2012, Comcast joined forces with the University of Connecticut to form the Comcast Center of Excellence for Computer Security Innovation and the Center for Hardware Assurance, Security, and Engineering. This partnership between industry and academia merges two vital areas of expertise to address the 21st century security challenges. The result: these centers are becoming a national recognized authority in hardware, software and network security, ultimately proving the intrinsic value in collaborative efforts between public and private organizations. This presentation will explore how these teams are producing results to improve and protect the nation’s critical infrastructure while also cultivating the next-generation security professionals who will tackle the ever-expanding security challenges in the coming years and decades.

More than a SIEM: Security as a Business Enabler
Forward-thinking security leaders are working diligently to position their teams as business enablers, but few have been as successful as the team at MIAX Options. Their “Enterprise-wide Risk Dashboard and Alerting” project is a showcase as to what can be achieved when all of the vested parties within an organization participate in order to bring value of the entire company. While at its core, the project mainly focused on deploying best-of-breed security information and event management solution, the platform built now enables every business unit within the organization – from regulatory compliance to trade operations to security – to monitor, alert and report on corporate-wide risks. This presentation will describe how the MIAX SIEM has become the messaging backbone of the entire MIAX Exchange, arguably one of the fastest Options Exchanges in the world.

Just-in-Time: An Innovative, Proactive Approach to Addressing Insider Threats
One major breach after another points to insider threats (both malicious and misguided) as being a major risk for a large enterprise. Many organizations take a traditional approach to training, which offers limited understanding of security policies by end users, resulting in compliance issues and little accountability. Comcast views the future of security as one that is globally contextually aware. Through an innovative integration of more than 25 security tools, the company has developed a program that empowers it’s more than 90,000 users with the information and context they need to make the right decisions at the right time. This presentation will describe Comcast’s blended approach of a contextually aware security solution and Just-in-Time training, and share how the program is scalable and capable of ensuring both large and small organizations can be nimble and constantly drive change to meet corporate, market and regulatory demands.
