In an increasingly connected world, securing your infrastructure from bad actors is paramount to continuing business operations. In this session, we will discuss the topic of Disaster Recovery, and what to do when all lines of defense fail. With new exploits being found every day, IT departments of all sizes need to plan for the next attack. While securing your environment is important for preventing most breaches, having a successfully tested disaster recovery plan is the last line of defense for restoring business operations after a successful attack breaks through.

Security Validation as the Heart of Exposure Management

To increase security readiness given today’s dynamic attack surfaces and diverse cyberthreats,  security professionals need to move away from traditional vulnerability-centric methods to a new approach that identifies exploitable security exposures in their live IT environments.

To increase security readiness given today’s dynamic attack surfaces and diverse cyberthreats,  security professionals need to move away from traditional vulnerability-centric methods to a new approach that identifies exploitable security exposures in their live IT environments.

Gartner describes Exposure Management (EM) as a new framework that incorporates the adversary’s view to continuously uncover exploitable security gaps, and prioritize remediation accordingly. One of the pillars of EM is security validation, which provides evidence of attackers’ possible achievements in the context of an organization’s deployed assets, configurations, and security controls.

During this session, we will present a pragmatic approach to implementing an Exposure Management strategy, focusing on automated security validation.

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 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.

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.

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?
