The Value of Predictive Security Intelligence > Download Presentation
Although security information is widespread, true "intelligence" is hard to establish because rapidly evolving technologies often create massive responsibility with little support or understanding of security implications. Security leaders must possess the knowledge and resources to predict and prevent threats and effectively communicate risks within an environment of constant change. Our lunch program will provide insights regarding the integration of full-scale attackplanning, threat simulation and attack replication for the purpose of garnering upper-management support, optimizing efficiency and investments in people and technology, and uniting security and business risks.

Measure the Immeasurable: Translating Risk to Executives > Download Presentation
What does "we stopped 24,476 malware attacks today" mean to an executive? Not much without context. The challenge with reporting metrics is that executive don't always understand "why" they should care, as most measurements only speak to what can be measured vs. what should be measured. As security executives we need to talk less about the bits and bytes and more about what is critical to the business. If you do, you'll find the path to true partnership with the C-suite is not as difficult as exploiting an OpenSSL De-allocation vulnerability.
In this session you will learn concrete strategies that will help your organization "get there" and contextualize security - for executives and the business alike. Learn how to create a repeatable, successful strategy to communicate IT risk-to-business risk to build an open line of communication, prioritize issues, and possibly gain more resources to fix the problem right.

The Evolving CISO Role – What got you here is unlikely to get you there...
> Download the Presentation
There has been commentary over the last twelve months around the emerging role of the CISO as a risk practitioner, business partner and seasoned communicator. What it means to be CISO today is changing and why this should be of concern for aspiring security professionals as the skills they hone to help achieve these leadership roles are likely to be inadequate to be fully effective these new roles.
Arguably the security and risk management industry is challenged by the lack of executive and general management skills to quench an ever increasing leadership demand. This is truly evident in the health care vertical that is in very short order responding to a revolution associated with the perfect storm of digital healthcare regulatory reform and increased privacy and security concerns.
Interestingly research suggests that the significant challenge facing aspiring new leaders is not their technical prowess or subject matter expertise, but rather the ability to evolve the Information Security Function to that of a risk governance organization that provides oversight across a topic that is more relevant to the Board and Senior Management than ever before. Emerging skills are now sought after, grounded in risk management and ability to partner across the organization, executive communication skills and the ability to influence senior leaders. Here is the paradox, to succeed through the ranks in the information security field we have emphasized the need for specialization and technical skills development, and yet when you arrive your ability to be effective as a CISO requires a whole different set of skills.

Security Leadership Balancing Risk and Business Value

Amy Carroll will discuss how Janus Capital Group is managing their security awareness program as a marketing campaign. She will walk you through the 4 week campaign that was rolled out to coincide with International Security Awareness Month, and the sessions they have offered their developers on how to protect company and personal data focused on security vulnerabilities – what can happen and how to avoid them. Janus Capital Group implemented the Courion attestation module to ensure user access is compliant with corporate and regulatory policy, with favorable feedback from their business application owners. This moves Janus closer to the goal of having an employee access view as opposed to individual system access views.

Netflix
DevOps – Scaling Cloud Security by Converging the Data Center with a Global Public Cloud > Download the Presentation
Bill Burns will share how Netflix is committed to adopt a pure public cloud model, yet many security and compliance controls are not mature or do not exist in that space. Bill and his team created a prioritized, and risk-based approach to migrating existing controls from their datacenters to a global public cloud. One such example has been the migration of a distributed, purely-software Web Application Firewall system to provide basic security and compliance controls. This system protects sensitive customer information and transactions, provides a “single pane of glass” of the entire attack surface (DataCenter + global public cloud), and is compatible both with their traditional puppet-based and DevOps deployment model. Furthermore, this WAF system is embedded into cloud instance build process, so it’s truly “baked in by default” for any new instances that are spawned. As new Netflix web systems are automatically added to match customer demand throughout the day, this security control is transparently applied to follow the demand curve. The end result is a system that scales equally well in both traditional datacenter and DevOps public cloud environments, and interoperate seamlessly. This provides his team and Netflix a single view of the attack surface that represents the Netflix service.
