Is Mobile in your future? Not really… > Download Presentation
As information security risk professionals, you are well acquainted with emerging technology adoption curve that favors functionality over controls (see the rise of the Android in the market). This is particularly true of disruptive technologies that impact consumers and mobile computing is a great example. You probably hear how important it is to develop a mobile strategy by your respective business leaders and your CIOs since mobile computing will continue to grow and influence consumer behavior. This session will present a perspective that mobile computing already arrived and the future is more about the convergence of mobile, social networking and cloud computing technologies and how to apply innovative controls to this convergence as opposed to attempting to manage risk through conventional controls.

Embracing a Security-First Approach > Download Presentation
There are no boundaries when it comes to malicious threats — hackers can attack at anytime from anywhere. In order to ensure protection of an organization’s intellectual property, data and assets, a CISO must take a strong security-first approach vs a cumbersome policy-driven, compliance-first approach. For the University of Massachusetts, this involved establishing and automating a controls system to maintain authorized and unauthorized device asset inventory, software assets, security device configurations and continuous vulnerability assessment and remediation. It also involved establishing key alliances with solutions providers in order to deploy the most robust and effective technology solutions available within the allotted budget. Learn how the UMass Security-First Approach significantly improved the security and stability of UMass’ infrastructure, resulting in stable systems with less down time, along with direct ownership.

Redefining B2B Collaboration in the Cloud > Download Presentation
One of the most difficult challenges global corporations face is the need to facilitate collaboration quickly and easily between teams distributed across the globe without creating new risks to security and data control. Merck determined this need was business critical and set forth on the task to develop a system to improve the speed of engagement and provide a single pane of glass for the user to interact with many different systems/databases at Merck. The solution was a secure cloud-based identity hub — the Secure Access Manager (SAM) — which is now serving more than 3,000 employee users and 2,000 partner users from over 220 companies, and meets a highly–available, ‘zero downtime’ service requirement. Learn more about how this service model addressed a business critical need, while also improving the organization’s overall security posture.

Embedding Security Early in the SDLC
Because applications are a notorious target for hackers, organizations who do not embed security as a priority early in the software development life cycle expose themselves to huge risks and attacks that often require costly remediation. Through its Application Security Assurance Program, Allstate’s team adopted a holistic approach from people, process, technology and governance perspective and making sure security is embedded into SDLC from the start. As a result, the number of vulnerabilities in the static code scans and penetration tests are trending downward and applications have fewer issues discovered with the static code analysis tool. Learn more about how this project has had a substantial impact across the enterprise.
