Smart Defenses: Managing Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Security Information. A free 1-day seminar designed to leverage technologies and policies to protect the enterprise.

Many organizations take a "reactive" approach to threats and vulnerabilities--an outdated approach that leaves high-value data and intellectual property exposed. This 1-day seminar explores how to build and maintain a more agile, proactive defense model that reduces the risk of malware, application attacks and emerging Web 2.0 threats. Attend and learn about layered defenses, integrated security, threat/vulnerability correlation and how to bring it all together within an intelligent security information management framework.

Benefit from five key sessions focused on:

Tips for Learning and Practicing Security Agility

How to Make Your IDS Useful

Intrusion Defense Strategy Panel

Case Study: How SIMs Saved the Day

Five Myths of Threat Management

 

Admission is FREE but seating is limited. Apply today.

Session Descriptions

Session 1: Tips for Learning and Practicing Security Agility

Organizations today require agility to thrive and survive. New knowledge workers, known as Generation Y, enter the work force and operate best in an environment where home and work overlap from an IT/networking/communications point of view. In order to keep pace with Generation Y, your IT department must be as agile and mobile as the organization. More importantly, you must plan, design and build for mobility and agility to respond to the needs of your organization. In this session, Ed Moyle, manager, CTG, helps you become more mobile by keeping your security posture. Attend and discover:

• How to build more agile IT security processes
• How to avoid the 'vendor lock' with mobile devices and successfully have more than one device in your shop
• The real security issues of wireless and VLANs
• An in-depth look at perimeter security vs. deep defenses

Session 2: How to make Your IDS useful

The areas of intrusion detection and intrusion prevention have changed in the past few years. In some ways, they have merged into a single offering. Intrusion prevention tools are often deployed in a monitor only mode with actual blocking and prevention coming after extensive testing. However, intrusion detection as pure network packet capture for historical investigative and awareness purposes has evolved into its own separate market. In this session Ed Moyle explores the multi-faceted intrusion detection and prevention markets and dives into:

• Dynamic learning and anomaly detection
• What's worse? Virus outbreak or business shutdown?
• The intrusion detection/prevention convergence
• Host-based and network-based Intrusion detection/prevention systems
• Content filtering and data leak prevention
• Capturing the packets for audit and troubleshooting
• Identity based approaches
• Integration with SIM or SEM

Session 3: Intrusion Defense Strategy Panel

In this session we'll get the perspective of industry vendor experts who advise numerous customers on how to tactically solve intrusion defense challenges. Panelists will be joined by seminar speakers/moderators to explore how to leverage IT security tools to address security intelligence imperatives. Topics include:

• From the front lines: Vendors relate common customer problems and solutions via case studies
• Tips on how to select the right solutions for your enterprise without breaking the bank
• Technology must-haves for all security-focused tools so you can make smart purchasing decisions to keep pace with the evolving threat landscape.
• How to generate ROI from your threat and vulnerability management programs and make smart purchasing decisions

Session 4: Case Study: How SIMs Saved the Day

Security information management systems automate the process of looking through logs to help produce effective reports, issue alerts and provide a bird's eye view into the network. In this session Interval International CISO, Sasan Hamidi explains the reasons he opted for a SIMs and reviews his lessons learned. Gain first-hand advice on:

• How to make a business case for SIMs: successfully sell the project to upper management
• RFP process, test and perfect the offerings
• Integration and deployment: successes and setbacks

• Message rates, man hours spent on tuning, filtering messages and number of false positives
