Enabling the Business with Zero Trust

The Zero Trust model of information security basically kicks to the curb the old castle-and-moat mentality that had organizations focused on defending their perimeters while assuming everything already inside didn't pose a threat and therefore was cleared for access. In this discussion, we will discuss how Zero trust can enable and even accelerate critical business and IT initiatives, from new customer engagement models to complete cloud migrations.

Challenges and Lessons Learnt From Shifting Security Left

Changing perception of security function in development and delivery processes is a process itself.  But for perception to change â?" security function must evolve itself. Application developer makes decisions around security aspects much more often than security officer.  

Yet with most of security personnel originating from network and system security â?" how shifting security left can happen and gap between those two, often distinct groups can be bridged?  

I want to share a couple of thoughts, ideas and lessons learnt from NN Poland journey until today. 

• Technology change or mental change? 
• Secure your pipeline... and your platform 
• Security rails and gates 
• Own the platform, tools and results 
• It is always work in progress - where are we going?

Security in the Crosshairs - The Future Comes into Focus

All organizations, regardless of size, are continuously evolving through modern technologies. Having an incident response plan and an effective cybersecurity strategy is not a luxury, but rather a requirement. Finally, security training for employees to improve their awareness is becoming the rule instead of the exception. Security is now establishing a permanent footprint within the software development lifecycle, with SecDevOps/DevSecOps processes to incorporate security at all layers of development. 

Takeaways: 

•  Any organization can fall victim to a data breach
• Having a plan of action is essential to business survival 
• Security has become a part of the conversation at nearly every level of an organization

Balance Your Protection by Planning Left and Right of Boom

The noise that no IT team wants to hear, and no exec team wants to talk about, is the Boom associated with a successful breach.  Most products focus on either prevention (Left of, or before, Boom) or detection (Right of, or after, Boom), but lack the capability to integrate the two.  In order to provide measurable and meaningful value, managed detection and response (MDR) has evolved to provide insight that improves protection in both areas, fulfilling the mission of decreasing both the likelihood and the impacts of successful attacks.  

Join Jack Danahy, Alert Logic's SVP for Strategy and Chief Evangelist as he discusses MDR, and the security outcomes it delivers both Left, and Right, of Boom.
