Lunch & Sponsor Keynote: Visibility Without Borders: Building a Security Posture to Stop Attacks Closer to the Source

with

Network and Security Operations teams are hungry for data to analyze and establish security protocols. However, these same teams struggle to correlate the data they do ingest in order to draw connections between server and network or application and device.

Disparate applications, infrastructures and security platforms have exacerbated this visibility gap. Couple this data gap with network growth and limited IT resources, and you start to see the importance of automation and better data analysis. In this session, we will discuss the importance of true network and data visibility, and how it can help standardize and potentially move the defense posture out from the edge and to the source of the attack by having:

Extensive visibility from the internet through your intranet;
Continuous visibility at every premise; and
Smarter visibility based on smart data

How to Fill SIEM Gaps with UEBA/SOAR

with

Organizations want their SIEM to alert them in real time, but that’s not happening. Instead, their SIEM only helps determine how a breach occurred after the fact.

Fortune 1000 problem: Companies spin up containers quickly, then set them loose with no security due diligence. It’s a process problem as much as a technology issue. Questions to address:

How can a company create a more deliberate process to determine when containers are necessary?
What is some specific automation or orchestration tools? (Docker Swarm, Kubernates). This part is the end.
How does one optimize such tools as AppArmor and SELinuxbecause to prevents a misconfiguration or bug at the container daemon level?

Lunch & Sponsor Keynote: The Power of AI to Disrupt Security Ops

with

Many of today’s companies are hesitant to adopt new security technologies – particularly AI. The truth is AI is successfully disrupting many area of security operations and shifting us away from the traditional SOC and man-led threat intelligence. In this session, Chris Calvert will introduce the concept of autonomous security driven by AI, probability theory and advanced algorithms. These new technologies apply reasoning, judgement and experience to identify threats and make decisions at the scale, speed and consistency no human can match, freeing up analysts for higher level investigation and response actions.

Calvert believes that this new approach to old security issues, shifting from human-led security to machine-led security and utilizing AI, can and will be realistic for any security organization.
