Securing the Endpoint in an Age of Advanced Cyber Attacks
Breaches are occurring at an alarming pace and the #1 point of entry is the endpoint. Legacy detection-based defenses simply aren’t enough to stop dynamic, modern cyber-attacks. And companies continue to embrace business-enabling mobile and cloud technologies that further evaporate the network perimeter and IT control. Is there a new model that can be used to secure the endpoint? Can isolation technology help prevent breaches where companies are often left most exposed — the endpoint? This discussion will center around securing the perimeter and how to transform the traditional cycle of false alerts, infection, and remediation. We will discuss how you can enable your IT team to spend less time on reactive measures so you can focus your energy on what matters most — your success. Join our conversation to learn how this revolutionary approach will defeat today’s threats while streamlining IT, reducing costs, and empowering your users.

Closing the Security Intelligence Gap – Integrating Identity, Access and Security Management
Your data is valuable and there’s a good chance that someone is actively working to get it. For today’s hackers, successful infiltration to sensitive systems and information is often achieved by gaining the credentials of privileged users with elevated access rights. Traditional security solutions are no longer enough to spot this attack method. Closing the gap requires a new approach---integrating security monitoring with identity and access management. Applying identity-based context and user access behavior into your security monitoring efforts are imperative to discovering the true, actionable security intelligence required for your team to disrupt an attack before it can cause damage and expedite incident response. Join our conversation for a deep dive into identity, access and security management and learn more about the tools and strategies your team needs to recognize potential attacks faster and keep your most sensitive information assets safe.

The Balancing Act: Managing Expectations Across the Enterprise
Ongoing breaches and reports of cyber espionage have brought Information Security center stage with executive management, boards of directors and customers alike. The business expects the CISO to manage an agile, high-performing security program, yet consistently fails to adequately underwrite or provide the range of resources necessary to meet growing demands. Now expected to be a transformative leader, CISOs are struggling to balance new perceptions when such a disconnect exists between expectations and reality. Just as managing the complexity of the threat environment mandates a solution-based, multi-layer approach, so does navigating the complex relationships necessary to bridge the gaps between security and the enterprise. During this presentation, learn how to work with various business units and departments to build and empower your leadership team, so that you can better manage the heavy burden of defending your organization against the unrelenting array of cyber threats.

Securing Your Data across Channels: Strategies for Outpacing Zero Day Threats and Sophisticated Hackers
Mobile, social and cloud technologies enable an organization’s efficiency and productivity, and can often provide competitive and brand differentiation. However, the widespread adoption of these services often results in an environment where free-flowing data quickly outpaces an organization’s ability to proactively defend against imminent and emerging security threats. All companies with valuable IP should assume both zero day threats and sophisticated hackers are targeting them. Mobile, social and cloud technologies drive productivity. But they also open the door to data theft and advanced attacks that can slip right by anti-virus, URL filtering and firewall defenses. A continued focus on siloed controls is insufficient for today’s threats as attacks are highly advanced, well-funded and persistently targeting enterprise environments.

The Era of Cyber War Games Has Arrived – Are You Prepared to Play?
When the movie War Games hit theaters back in 1983, the concept of computer hacking was little more than science fiction. Fast forwarding more than 30 years later, gripping sci-fi dilemmas featuring cyber-attacks have become real life nightmares for many organizations. The era of the modern cyber war games has arrived with nation states backing large scale cyber terrorist attacks, issuing demands, and bringing huge organizations to their knees for months on end. Private user data, sensitive employee credentials, and even unreleased products are being disclosed and used as ammunition against major corporations like Sony, Target, JP Morgan Chase, and Home Depot on this digital field of battle. These companies face not only financial losses in the millions, but also must cope with equally crippling brand disintegration due to public backlash and customer fallout. Now that fiction is reality, an important question remains – is your team prepared for these cyber war games?

Cyber Threat Intelligence: A Gold Mine of Value
An intelligence capability empowers organizations to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities in order to minimize the ‘threat attack window‘ and limit the amount of time an adversary gains access to the network before they are discovered. Organizations that operate with an intelligence-led mindset understand that threat intelligence is the ‘mechanism’ that drives cyber security investment and operational risk management. The number of cyber threat intelligence providers continues to increase and the idea of threat intelligence is gaining widespread acceptance. While increased awareness of the cyber security threat is a positive trend, many organizations still need to put in place the fundamentals of intelligence management to gain real value from threat intelligence. This will be a crucial for instilling confidence in board members – and ensure that the organizations are equipped to leverage the gold mine of value that can be extracted from cyber threat intelligence.

Harnessing the Power of Analytics with Increased Speed
The Janus project team found the SEIM was producing alerts from large quantities of data, but running queries to gather incident data for response and mitigation could not be run quickly. They utilized a series of open source tools to drive an internal security analytics program that provides an interface to rapidly search relevant security log information for trends. Custom integration was also added to pull in additional information beyond logs that could be useful in incident integration. Learn how the Janus team was able to cut down incident response times by 50%, enable the capability to rapidly research information security trends, and reduce the time to research by as much as 90%, all without spending excessive amounts on licensing fees.
