Failure to do so could result in a costly data breach, as we’ve seen happen with many businesses. However; before you can start developing a security program for your organization, it’s critical that you understand the different types of security and how they all work together.

Session Title:

The Inevitable Cyber Attack: From Observation to Remedial Action and minimizing “Dwell Time” In-between

Description:

As cyber threats and attacks against organizations continually demonstrate increased sophistication and complexity so the importance of gaining true visibility and control across all key control points proportionately increases. Once an organization has been breached the most important tool in the Security Operation Center workbench becomes their incident response capability and the maturity thereof will determine the mean time to remediation.

Key Takeaways:

– What a typical SOC Service Catalog consists of
– The importance of true end to end visibility of key control points from Endpoint to Cloud
– How technology can be used to minimize “dwell time” during incident response efforts
