    Identifying High-Risk Applications-Prioritizing the Risk Each Carries to Your Enterprise
      September 16, 2010 New York, NY The Penn Club As new and exciting applications make their way behind the firewall and into the enterprise, security teams are being asked to accept new types of vulnerabilities in order to accommodate additional functionality.
    This requires a process for quantifying risk according to the application’s importance followed by a decision on what vulnerabilities to prioritize and what to notate but accept.

    During this session we will discuss how businesses are making strategic decisions on which applications present the greatest risk, which risks to accept, how to explain those risks in terms that resonate with business partners, and how to track those risks in an ongoing fashion. We will focus on lessons learned from IANS partners, ideas shared during IANS Forums, and feedback from other practitioners on what’s worked for them.

    Re-Inventing Network Security: Creating a New Perimeter in a Deperimeterized World
      September 22, 2010 Atlanta, Georgia The Commerce Club As traditional network security tools such as firewalls become increasingly ineffective in blocking today’s threats, the network “perimeter” continues to disappear for enterprise users. Information security
    professionals are continually frustrated by applications and services such as Skype, Twitter, and Facebook, applications designed specifically to slip through firewalls. As internal users have haphazardly introduced new applications in their efforts to conduct business and improve communication, they have increased the burden on security teams and augmented the need for a perimeter re-invention.

    Join us as we dive into the issues facing the current perimeter and discuss the concept of deperimeterization; what does that mean for the firewall?

    Leveraging Threat Modeling to Make Informed Secure Software Design, Development & Test Decisions
      October 21, 2010 Los Angeles, CA Jonathan Club As new and exciting applications make their way behind the firewall and into the enterprise, security teams are being asked to accept new types of vulnerabilities in order to accommodate additional functionality.
    This requires a process for quantifying risk according to the application’s importance followed by a decision on what vulnerabilities to prioritize and what to notate but accept. The next step is to create methodologies, frameworks, and metrics to track this information, so that security teams can revisit risk acceptances periodically while monitoring for new vulnerabilities at all times. During this session we will discuss how businesses are making strategic decisions on which applications present the greatest risk – with specific focus on internally developed applications while also discussing productivity and customer-facing applications that are becoming more prevalent in the enterprise. By categorizing and defining those risks, we will help attendees with recommendations on which risks to accept, how to articulate those risks in terms that resonate with business partners, and how to prioritize and track those risks in an ongoing fashion. We will focus on lessons learned from IANS clients, ideas shared during IANS Forums, and feedback from practitioners on what’s worked for them. Underwritten by Security Innovation">">">
