Sensitive Dark Data: Capturing the Elusive Risk
Multi-cloud networks, new AI applications, and unstructured data systems are often added without the security team’s knowledge, expanding the attack surface without adherence to security policies. While cybersecurity tools have matured and are more capable of detecting threats and vulnerabilities, improving data protection with data discovery and classification is an ever more important priority. Complicating the situation further, regulations such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and U.S. state laws such as the CCPA mandate the protection of sensitive and personal information. At the end of the day, you can’t protect what you don’t know you have. It is time to capture the elusive risk of sensitive dark data.

You’re invited to an engaging evening of networking, best practice sharing, and wine tasting with your executive peers to discuss how to optimize your efforts for security, privacy, and compliance. And no matter how strong your data privacy and security efforts are, planning for and having knowledge of accurate data discovery is essential to protecting your enterprise.

Zero to SIEM in Seconds: Modernize Your Security Operations by Empowering SOC Automation
Today’s attack surface is continuously expanding due to hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures and more cloud-based applications. Security operations are having difficulties in scaling and managing the volume of data and variety of security tools due to resource constraints and escalating costs. This leads to limited visibility, manual detection, and slow investigation efforts leading to delayed response to complex targeted attacks. Join us for an insightful dinner discussion on how security leaders can adopt an analytics-driven approach that goes beyond current SIEM, XDR and other SOC solutions to reduce alert fatigue, manual efforts, and inadequate response. We will explore the best practices associated with how to improve threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) for security teams.
