Network Visibility And Security In The Era Of Mobility & Advanced Threats

Hack attacks – and in particular Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) – are on the rise, eroding reputations and looting organizational assets with disturbing regularity.  With mobility the new norm and mobile security in its relative infancy, are BYOD enterprises inviting APT attacks?  Mobile devices potentially open the organizational network to a new set of security risks that challenge IT professionals to plan strategically.  This session examines effective new approaches to redefine network perimeter, gain real time network visibility into who and what is on it, and control access automatically.  Importantly, the session offers strategies for preventing and controlling APTs and other infections.

“Bolstering your Defenses with Sandboxing Technology – What to Consider”

Keeping threats away from your network is a critical first line of defense. A sandbox automatically isolates files to determine if they’re safe, providing an instant additional layer of detection and protection. For many companies, these advanced technologies require additional resources and security expertise to implement and monitor them. New solutions are changing this by providing all businesses access to next-generation sandboxes that are affordable and simple to deploy.

In our Session, Derek Snyder (Sophos Engineer) will explain the latest sandbox technology, share 5 key points to consider and will answer questions including: Why don’t my conventional defenses protect me from APT s, and how do I choose the right sandbox?

RedSeal’s advanced analytics engine creates functioning network models, tests networks to identify security risks, Measure needed actions, and provides critical information to quickly Prioritize issues. The result: reduced cybersecurity risk and lower incident response and maintenance costs.

Reclaim Control of Mobile and Distributed Data

In today’s mobile and cloud application world, locating, tracking, and monitoring dispersed data has become increasingly more complicated. Organizations that can get a few steps ahead in identifying and remediating potential data risks before they become critical business issues will more effectively protect their enterprise from exposure and fines, while minimizing impact to workforce productivity.

Because of these data and work habit changes, enterprises struggle to provide effective productivity tools to mobile workers, while at the same time meet corporate governance obligations; tracking sensitive information for HIPAA, PCI and SOX, ensuring employee data privacy, and meeting legal needs.

Join us for this session where we’ll discuss what the increasing data governance burden created by data sprawl means and strategies to address it,  the key challenges of tracking, monitoring and responding to compliance/legal requests for dispersed enterprise data and what actions your organization can take today to get ahead.

Securing HyperConverged Infrastructure – Design Considerations and Best Practices

Can you reap the benefits of the cloud without accepting the security trade-offs? Do you have workloads you prefer to keep on-premise?  Hyperconverged infrastructure provides a cloud-like infrastructure for your on-premise workloads.  It dramatically reduces TCO and data center complexity, providing an attractive alternative to the public cloud. This presentation will dive into security best practices and design considerations for HyperConverged Infrastructure.

Is your application visibility getting cloudy?

More and more of your critical applications are moving outside of your network and data centers and into the cloud. With the move to cloud, many IT organizations have lost some of the visibility and control they once had when these applications were on prem.  Learn about some of the challenges organizations face when moving to the cloud and what you need to do to get the clarity you need for your critical apps.
