As enterprises expand globally and the infrastructure supporting this growth expands, how can you keep pace with the security requirements? A variety of solutions provide “silohed” points of security, but without the ability to synthesize these disparate technologies and the data they produce, it’s hard to understand your overall security status. A new way of looking at this problem includes proactively identifying critical risks and matching them to unique business objectives, operational best practices, and regulatory mandates. It is now possible through real-time analytics to transform disparate security data into concise, actionable information, so your security organizations can get ahead and stay ahead of enterprise threats - for the first time.

Prioritizing Risks in a Corporation > Download Presentation
Companies are introducing more and more technologies into their organization every day. As the person in charge of protecting the company and ensuring that those technologies do not introduce excessive risk to your company, CISOs are faced with the daunting task of trying to “keep up” with the requests while also being challenged with supporting the business and (in general) making life more convenient. This discussion provides some fundamental steps that CISOs can take to prioritize risk and be successful within their organization – while also keeping their sanity!

Threat Intelligence: Knowledge is Power

Read Roundtable Discussion Summary
Today’s cyber threat actors are unwaveringly focused on the theft of intellectual property, mission-critical details, and other sensitive information, continually evolving their methods and routinely defeating traditional approaches to defense. As organizations work to thwart the attackers, they find themselves in an escalating arms race with unseen attackers. To combat the advanced, persistent and constantly morphing threats, organizations need the very best security intelligence delivered immediately. However, conventional security technologies typically lack the innate intelligence to deal with rapidly emerging threats and web innovation. As a result, current approaches to threat management often fail due to limited threat intelligence, a lack of event context and gaps associated with this lack of visibility. Further, conducting threat intelligence is tedious and time-consuming. Most security teams are already overburdened with other initiatives. Without ongoing threat vigilance, most organizations stand to find themselves in a constant, reactive state, trying to limit damage after outbreaks occur.
Building Trust in the Cloud: Managing the Risk

Read Roundtable Discussion Summary
Cloud computing has accelerated the rapid adoption of digital business models and given rise to a breed of sophisticated business user who can choose which services to use and combine them at will. Cloud computing clearly delivers value in terms of flexibility, scalability, cost savings and the ability to focus on the core business. But in exchange for speed and efficiencies, organizations are increasing their dependency on third parties and making business trade-offs that may be risky due to a lack of expertise by the person making the outsourcing decisions. Further, as organizations become locked in to a cloud provider, they face compliance, contracting, legal and integration risks.
Traditional approaches to security do not translate easily to the cloud environment and questions about transparency, acceptable risk, disaster recovery, business continuity and actual costs savings persist. Top-of-mind cloud security issues include data breaches related to mobile device data, the need for better access control and identity management, ongoing compliance concerns, the risk of multiple tenants and the emergence of cloud standards and certifications.
Mobile Device Management: Balancing Business Agility and its Risk

Read Roundtable Discussion Summary
With the astonishing influx of smartphones, mobile devices and tablets into enterprises, mobile data has become a foundation of the daily operations of businesses around the world. Not only has data itself become more mobile, but the users holding that data have as well. It is the job of the IT organization to make this ‘mobile user experience’ no different than if the user was inside the office and connected to the network, and just as secure. While employees relish the anywhere, anytime power of smartphones and tablets, IT executives shudder at the security risks associated with the advent of free-roaming, employee-owned devices that have direct access to the corporate data. With inadequate mobile security solutions and a lack of understanding or disregard of company security policies by employees, mobile users routinely put sensitive data at risk and are often completely unaware of the inherent risks.

Read Roundtable Discussion Summary
With the media continuing to report on the latest security incidents and malware du jour, it’s tempting to view the constant stream of high-profile data breaches as proof of the advanced capability of the faceless adversary. Driven by the seemingly endless stream of news-making exploits, organizations increasingly are relying on the latest technology as a silver bullet in defending against attacks.
Many organizations put safeguards in place without actually thinking things through and apply defenses around business processes that lack a stable foundation and employees that lack the most basic knowledge of security. With all the money invested in security solutions, most organizations still fall short in protecting against the same threats that they've faced for the last 10 years. Phishing, SQL injection, malicious attachments, social engineering. Old, every one of them. And yet, very effective at compromising networks in some of the best-known companies.

CSX Solves IAM Mainframe Challenges, Lays Foundation for Future > Download Presentation
CSX, a mature organization with a heavy reliance on mainframe, wanted to address challenges with the “silo” structure of their enterprise environment and provide a flexible, scalable identity management foundation to support the organization for the future. The existing solution required manual processes to accommodate identity management tasks such as provisioning, servicing system access requests, user password self-service, and synchronization of user data from their source of identity authority. Steve Mead will share how CSX engaged Logic Trends, a FishNet Security company, to develop the strategic plan and execute the integration of Identity Forge for mainframe integration and Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) 2010 to solve for these challenges while ensuring long-term sustainability, enabling growth and improving operational efficiency.
