As a vendor, we witness first-hand the tangible effect that best practices like the CIS Controls have on our customers’ network security. From our perspective, it’s easy to see who is on top of their security game … and who could really benefit from the guidance these controls provide. In this discussion, we’ll walk through several of the CIS Controls, review the changes to the new V8,  and provide real-world case studies to illustrate how different security tools and services can work together – sometimes in not-so-obvious ways – to reduce risk, and keep your network safe and secure.

With all the recent headlines, it seems the risk of ransomware has become an added certainty to the daily lives of Cybersecurity personnel. Adversaries are automating the initial stages of the cyber attack lifecycle in order to identify the best bang for their buck. How do organizations with limited resources even keep up? Adding another tool to the defensive stack just isn’t enough. How do you know it will reliably stand up against an actual threat? In this session, I will speak to specific techniques in identifying ransomware threats at different layers of the defensive stack that will help reduce risk & impact. Finally, we leverage the Pentera platform to automate a holistic view, emulating actual attacks to measure the resilience of all our efforts.

The pandemic — with it’s overnight switch to work-from-home and the resulting challenges from going remote — drove more IT complexity across cybersecurity than ever before.

In fact, IT and security professionals across the globe cite a whopping 77% increase in complexity over the last two years, according to new research from Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) and Axonius.

In this session, Nathan Burke of Axonius, takes a deep dive into the findings from the report, “Cybersecurity Asset Management Trends 2021: How the Rapid Shift to Remote Work Impacted IT Complexity and Post-pandemic Security Priorities.”

He’ll share key trends — like how 55% of IT and cybersecurity pros cite remote workers as the leading cause of complexity (up over 30% from last year), driving plans to increase investments in asset inventory for 82% of organizations.

Join “Where Do We Go From Here?: Global Survey Reveals Security Priorities Post-pandemic” to learn:

  • How security teams are transforming policy and infrastructure post-pandemic
  • Key strategies security teams are using as employees return to the office for the first time in over a year
  • Why security teams are prioritizing automating asset inventories in 2021
