Continuous Security Validation: Exercise your Environment more than the Adversary
With Incident Response as the new normal, ensuring that our systems and processes support that effort and threat hunting are working as expected. We will discuss why and how to establish a Continuous Security Validation (CSV) program within your organization. Specifically, how such a program evolves beyond Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) and provides teams a continuous feedback loop to understand their posture and identify gaps as they arise.

Why Software Still Stinks
What do AI, IA&M, Ransomware, Blockchain, Encryption, and the Cloud all have in common? They are all software – both fueling and exposing the modern enterprise. Software no longer operates in isolation, but rather a complex, hostile ecosystem that makes it ripe for attack . Compounding the problem is the reliance on 3rd-party, open source, and commercial off-the-shelf software that introduces risk outside our control, as evidenced by the SolarWinds attack last year.
Securing modern software applications means adopting risk-based techniques to build security in and protect in production.
Attend this session to learn:
- Top software risks we’ll face in 2022
- Critical mistakes organizations continue to make
- Why traditional assessments are missing the mark
- How to get smarter about the cloud
