ISE® Northeast Schedule of Events 2015

Closing the Security Intelligence Gap – Integrating Identity, Access and Security Management
Your data is valuable and there’s a good chance that someone is actively working to get it. For today’s hackers, successful infiltration to sensitive systems and information is often achieved by gaining the credentials of privileged users with elevated access rights. Traditional security solutions are no longer enough to spot this attack method. Closing the gap requires a new approach---integrating security monitoring with identity and access management. Applying identity-based context and user access behavior into your security monitoring efforts are imperative to discovering the true, actionable security intelligence required for your team to disrupt an attack before it can cause damage and expedite incident response. Join our conversation for a deep dive into identity, access and security management and learn more about the tools and strategies your team needs to recognize potential attacks faster and keep your most sensitive information assets safe.

The Evolving Challenge of Third Party Security Risk Management Industry experts estimate that third-party security breaches are growing at an astounding rate, leading many to believe that a firm’s level of cybersecurity is only as good as the security of its vendors. To be successful, CISOs must work with, not against, partners to effectively remediate immediate threats and lower collective security risk. Join our conversation to discuss how to better protect your organization from third party threats by adding continuous monitoring to your arsenal and adopting practices for collaborative intervention and remediation.

Information Risk in the Boardroom: How to get comfortable outside your comfort zone
As the profile of information risks such as cyber security, access management and business resiliency increase at companies so does the organizational profile of the CISO role in corporate governance. This constant and rapid evolution of the role has stretched the capabilities of many CISO’s as the role continues to grow and expand into the boardroom. I’ll share my views on where we have come from, the challenges we currently face in being effective with our boards and where we may be going in the future.

Through the Vendor Risk Looking Glass
Untethered vendor access is an increased security and business risk for many companies due to lack of visibility and control over vendors with access to critical infrastructure. To help remedy this significant security issue, the team at Comcast developed a program that would allow them to integrate vendor external profiles and internal vendor resource activities to provide a 360° single pane of glass view for its IIS, GRC Leadership and SOC teams. The Comcast 360 Vendor Risk Assurance Program The program provides a holistic defense against the targeted attacks leveraging the vendor as a threat vector. Learn how the Comcast team was able to maximize organizational efficiencies and improve the timely responsiveness of its security teams and vendor groups to drive successful vendor risk management.

Location: Ambassador 3, 2nd Floor

Redefining Cloud-based Security
It’s no secret that traditional perimeter-based security models cannot adequately protect your enterprise in today’s threat landscape. With this in mind, the team at AT&T set out to develop a solution that could deliver an API-based architecture, which could decouple hardware and software components of network security devices to provide security software as a service, built within a distributed cloud environment, and integrated within the cloud provisioning process. Their Astra ecosystem is comprised of software-enabling virtual security services delivered via APIs, creating micro-perimeters of protection around applications based on automated intelligent provisioning. The technology also consumes threat intelligence and security event analysis via API, which enables the team to identify and mitigate events that previously had no solution. Learn how the AT&T team was able to redefine security in the cloud with their pioneer approach to application protection.

4:20 PM : Nominee Showcase Presentation #3

Location: Ambassador 3, 2nd Floor

Dissolving Divestiture Discord
Divestitures create an inherent conflict of interest between the buyer and the seller. Understandably, the buyer wants immediate control of their newly acquired assets while the seller wants to ensure that the buyer does not get access to their own core non-divested data or intellectual property. Additionally, the seller wants to complete the transition securely and reduce all potential avenues of data loss. In order to ease this transition for both parties, Citi developed their Advanced Third Party Management system to provide a consistent and systematic methodology to separate these divested IT assets and workers using a repeatable framework that reduces the information security risk to Citi. Learn how the Citi team, has made significant advances in securing this special niche area within the InfoSec world and successfully implement the solution across multiple countries in multiple geographic regions.
