Securing Administrative Passwords
Identity Management Tools, such as Single Sign-On and Directories are examples of important building blocks in any organization's Identity Management infrastructure. However, these tools are only geared towards individual users. An additional solution for privileged users should be deployed to complement the Identity Management Infrastructure.
This presentation will focus on best practices in:
- Frequent and automatic password changes of shared privileged accounts
- Automatically detecting and managing Service accounts
- Privileged Session recording and management
- Strong auditing of privileged passwords usage to ensure accountability
- Secured long term storage and automatic failover to eliminate risks of loss and to ensure availability during disaster recovery
- Removing clear text passwords embedded in scripts, and automatically changing them according to corporate policy

Cyber Security: "Trust But Verify" How can Network Forensics help you defend against today's threats?
Combatting the sophisticated threats that target our information assets require more than a "set it and forget it" approach to security. Join Peter Schlampp, Solera Networks VP of Marketing and Product Management, to learn how real-time network forensics and situational awareness will help you determine the true scope of any network event and better protect your organization. With a complete picture of all your network activity, you can significantly reduce incident response time and eliminate the exposure to further risk. Unfortunately, the "Trust, but Verify" approach to security has been heavy on Trust, light on Verify. Technology has improved to enable capture, index, record, search, replay and reconstruct all of your network traffic at full line rates. With a complete historical record (packet header and payload), you have complete surveillance of all network activities. Think of it as a surveillance camera for your network with the ability to record and reconstruct all traffic and uncover any event in full detail. Now you can balance the scales with the ability to verify the security or threat of any network activity. |

The REAL Next Generation Firewall - the Straight Story from the Pioneer of the Technology
The world that we operate in has changed. Applications have evolved from the days of web browsing and email in the 1990's. Users have become more sophisticated and demanding. Threats have evolved. YET, corporations are using the same old security technologies and approaches that were build for the early days of the internet to address these new challenges. Palo Alto Networks recognized the stagnation that was occurring in the network security arena and took aggressive steps to solve this problem. As the developer and pioneer of the Next Generation Firewall, Palo Alto Networks has changed the rules of Network Security forever. Beware cheap imitations.
In this session, you will learn:
- How the use of applications has evolved much faster than the industry's ability to respond.
- How entirely new categories of applications have emerged in the last 3 years and challenged corporate security organizations worldwide
- What a Next Generation Firewall really is and how it can address these new challenges
- What a Next Generation Firewall is NOT
