Ask any CIO about corporate data and they’ll happily share all the work they’ve done to make their databases secure and compliant. Ask them about other sensitive information, like contracts, financial documents, and source code, and you’ll probably get a much less confident response. Few organizations have any insight into business-critical information stored in unstructured data. There was a time when that didn’t matter. Those days are gone. Data is now accessible, copious, and dispersed, and it includes an alarming amount of business-critical information. It’s a target for both cybercriminals and regulators but securing it is incredibly difficult. It’s the data challenge of our generation. Existing approaches aren’t doing the job. Keyword searches produce a bewildering array of possibly relevant documents that may or may not be business critical. Asking users to categorize documents requires extensive training and constant vigilance to make sure users are doing their part. What’s needed is an autonomous solution that can find and assess risk so you can secure your unstructured data wherever it lives. That’s our mission. Concentric’s semantic intelligence solution reveals the meaning in your structured and unstructured data so you can fight off data loss and meet compliance and privacy mandates.

DevSecOps Alchemy: Communications, Processes and Visibility
The August 2023 SANS DevSecOps Survey shows that latest automated tools — such as CNAPP, CSPM, and CWPP — by themselves are not enough to succeed with DevSecOps. The survey reported that automated application testing grew by 52% between 2022 and 2023, yet organizations reported that tools like these were seen as less useful than in 2022. How is that possible? Great DevSecOps requires a foundation of solid testing data plus good communications and consistent processes. Join Seemplicity as we share our insights from the SANS survey and talk about a foundation for successful DevSecOps.

Communicating Risk with Your Leadership Team
In response to the ever-changing risk environment, company leadership is asking more and more questions about how to best manage risk. But being able to answer those questions means having a system and process in place to accurately document, manage, mitigate, and report on those risks.
Luckily, some frameworks and processes already exist to help guide you through that process. Kayne McGladrey, Field CISO, will walk you through the current state of risk and how to effectively and accurately communicate risk to your leadership team.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
● What the 2023 risk landscape looks like
● How risk managers are planning on updating their risk workflows to adapt
● How to communicate risk to leadership

Protecting Data in a Distributed World
Change is the only constant.
Back in the 1970s all computing data was predominantly held on mainframes, which were located in highly secure data centers. They were only accessed over private networks utilizing propriety communications protocols and hard-wired devices.
Today that model has changed dramatically; both company confidential and customer data is available anywhere via a myriad of devices and often accessed remotely from the company’s offices as the data is stored in the cloud. Understanding exactly where that data is located and protecting it, is critical to all businesses, both from revenue protection and avoiding loss of credibility from high profile breaches and the regulatory fines that often accompany those breaches. Just because a company moves its data to the cloud does not absolve it of the responsibility and ownership of the required cybersecurity and data protection controls, and often this is regulated by governments or their agencies.
Threats are evolving daily, and your cybersecurity team must stay on top of the controls that are required. They also need to be able to constantly monitor what is happening to the company’s sensitive data. Are you ready for those challenges? Let’s explain that journey.

Cloud Security Lessons Learned from Recent Cyber Attacks
After two decades of rapid cloud adoption by organizations, 2024 could be considered a turning point for cloud security. The popularity and complexity of cloud technology is expanding the attack surface with vulnerabilities and misconfigurations for cybercriminals to exploit. This session will provide examples of recent cloud attacks and provide a wide angle view of the status of common misalignments leaving the door open to malicious activity. This session will provide observations from our recently released Unit 42 Cloud Threat Report, Volume 7 that provides analysis of data collected over the past 12 months from Unit 42 Incident Response engagements in addition to analyzing cloud security at over 1,000 organizations, 210,000 cloud environments and over 70,000 code repositories. We will wrap up by providing details on how most attacks work and what organizations can do to protect themselves from cyberattacks.

The Crossroads of AI & Application Security
The potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is vast, with many industries already harnessing the power of it. In Application Security, AI has made some significant improvements – including finding flaws faster, suggesting fixes, the ability to rewrite code and more likely to come. Although, as with any new technology, it brings its own risks – including incorrect code suggestions and more intelligent malware attacks. Join our session to discuss how to harness these tools to work for you while ensuring your organization stays secure.
Presentation
Ransomware, the case for containment rather than prevention
Even the most well-protected organizations fall victim to ransomware – what do you do when this happens?
Most organizations have already invested and implemented strong layers of security but are still vulnerable to ransomware. Cybercriminals are constantly outsmarting even the most robust security solutions; evolving methods and behaviors make it impossible for traditional security vendors to prevent them. Endpoint protection is no longer enough. This session is essential if you wish to stay ahead of the ransomware threat. It will provide you with the following knowledge:
- What is ransomware containment and how will it change my approach to stopping attacks?
- How does a containment solution complement and enhance the investment I’ve already made in my security infrastructure?
- How will containment make ransomware attacks an inconvenience rather than a major security operation?
