Detection,
Prevention and Response Strategy: The Return of the Endpoint
Who/Topic:
|
|
|
After many years of neglect, enterprises once again are switching
their focus and budgets to deployment of next-generation endpoint
security technologies to help address the lack of continuous
visibility and rapid response functionality they miss with
existing technologies. During this panel discussion, Rafal Los,
managing director, solutions research and development, will
debate the importance of security from the endpoint perspective
and discuss strategies that bring together endpoint and network
security capabilities to holistically define protection schemes
that solve real problems

The
Pivot
Who/Topic:
|
|
|
In today’s threat landscape, the attacker’s goal is to become
trusted. Whether a state-sponsored actor or cybercriminal,
attackers typically first compromise the endpoint with a
client-side exploit and then pivot. In this presentation, Jonathan
Trull, vice president, information security, will take a deep
dive into how attackers pivot through organizations, identify the
telltale signs of a pivot, and most importantly, identify steps
for defending against it
