Biography
Enterprises continue to invest heavily in virtualized and cloud-based infrastructures. The era of elastic IT resources is here and it’s automated, on-demand and self-provisioning. This movement has not been so easy for some as more traditional security tools don’t always function as intended in cloud computing models. Security and compliance teams are learning that force fitting old security approaches can result in increased threats, lots of manual effort and delays in responding to the business. What’s needed is a new approach that allows businesses the freedom to take full advantage of agile infrastructure, while at the same time delivering comprehensive protection of critical assets. Join our conversation to learn how to deliver a more agile, efficient and effective security strategy that will enable your enterprise to fully capitalize on the many benefits of dynamic infrastructure.

Join our conversation to learn more about common examples of organizations having to choose between security and performance; the impact of security on workforce productivity; and recommended approaches that have been proven to work.

Cyber, an Evolving Ecosystem: How Cyber is Laying the Groundwork for Tomorrows Smart Cities
In today’s cities, a revolution in technology is underway. Municipalities across the globe are taking the ISO 37150/51 Frameworks to heart and are looking toward a future where they will have to provide services to populations three to five times larger than today. This rise of mega cities will require municipalities to work decades in advance on planning how to deploy technology-intelligent infrastructure that will provide critical services to their citizens. This future infrastructure will be connected to municipal networks that may not be prepared for the enormous amounts of data and risk exposure they will generate. Join our conversation to learn how the City of San Diego is laying the groundwork, from a cybersecurity perspective, on how to manage this risk and lay a foundation to build on for our citizens’ future as a smart city.

Is Endpoint Prevention Really Dead?
The failure of anti-virus solutions and network appliances to effectively prevent attacks on networks gave rise to the era of endpoint detection and response. Bolstered by the popular phrase “prevention is dead,” new forms of security such as Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) have been birthed based on this motto. However, many attacks on the endpoint are completely avoidable with the right strategy and tools in place. Knowing that, why have some abandoned the notion of being able to successfully prevent attacks on the endpoint? Is the era of endpoint prevention and security really over?

No Longer Left to Their Own Devices: Hacking Concerns with the Internet of Things
For many, the term “Internet of Things” has been little more than a buzzword tossed around over the last few years. However, as more devices gain the ability to connect, communicate with, and remotely manage an incalculable number of networked, automated devices via the Internet, the IoT is finally becoming a reality. Whether it’s a number of automated network devices on a factory floor, a remotely managed series of equipment in a hospital, or even just a collection of highly interconnected devices in a residential home, the elements that make up the IoT are becoming more pervasive by the day, and with them come critical security concerns. Join this conversation to discuss major security concerns with the IoT like ubiquitous data collection, consumer data privacy, and new avenues of attack.

Protecting Data: Keeping the Keys to the Kingdom Out of the Hands of Hackers
Breaches invariably involve data loss (for example: Anthem, JPMC, and Target), so finding the best practices to prevent them should be an essential part of your organization. Protection of data can be done at multiple network levels and can involve encryption, masking, or tokenization. The many options for data security offer a variety of security advantages, but they each have their own flaws to take into consideration. These include issues like malicious insiders abusing encryption keys, malware-based bypasses, and overall costs. Join our conversation to learn what kinds of secure data solutions are best for your business requirements; why and when to use each solution; and how you can combine solutions to minimize risk.

Realigning the Core: Creating Security Consciousness throughout Your Organization
In 2011, Jason Lish took the helm of an organization that was understaffed, misaligned and weak in business partnerships and security tool / program effectiveness. Security was largely seen as a bolt-on necessity and implementation was ad-hoc and happenstance. Through his leadership, Jason re-built the organization from the ground up by hiring a leadership team that is second-to-none, building trust with both business and technology leadership teams, and re-focused the security mission to be at the very core of Charles Schwab values. Join our conversation to learn how Jason has created an atmosphere of security consciousness throughout the Firm, and made security a cultural cornerstone for every employee, all while addressing regulatory and customer demand for a mature security program.
