What Just Happened?!!! - Respond Faster to Today's Threats

When your network is breached and data is lost, can you tell your anxious leadership what happened, when it started, and what your organization's exposure is, backed with complete evidence? Don't be the next organization to make the headlines.

Be prepared to swiftly respond to today's malicious attacks targeting your network, act decisively, minimize the damage, and fortify your network against future attacks. With a complete record of all network activity you get the answers to the tough questions your boss is demanding answers for - "How did this happen?", "Who did this to us?", "What systems were impacted?", "Is it over?", and will it happen again?"

Your Data At Risk: Using Managed File Transfer to Catch Data Breaches Before They Happen

How do your employees send files? And do you know to whom they were sent? In this presentation, Frank Kenney from Ipswitch will discuss how Managed File Transfer (MFT) can drastically reduce the risks associated with sensitive company files being shared between people and how it can help prevent data breaches. Additionally, Frank Kenney will explain why MFT solutions should be a critical part of your IT infrastructure, and give you peace of mind and fast time-to-value for quick ROI.
Attendees will learn:

• What MFT is and why it’s critical to protecting your brand
• Why over 60% of employees are using personal email to send large and sensitive files because company provided tools are inadequate
• Why you need visibility into what is being sent, by whom and to whom
• How MFT can provide employees with a secure way to quickly send files to other people
• How MFT solutions could have prevented data breaches

Breaking the Security Insanity Cycle

As a security professional, you are caught in a self-perpetuating, “wash-rinse-repeat” cycle that mires you down in tactical firefighting and may prevent you from charting a strategic path to network and data protection. The “security insanity cycle” describes the current process most enterprises find themselves enmeshed in where they keep performing the same intrusion detection and response activities but somehow expect a different result -- a secure network. Unfortunately, the cycle is not only consuming an increasing amount of resources but also ensuring an ever widening gap between your enterprise's ability to defend and your adversaries’ capability to infiltrate. The security insanity cycle involves three primary activities:

• Patching vulnerabilities in software as exploits become known
• Detecting intruders that are in your network and detecting the infected machines that they now own
• Recovering and restoring the infected machines back to a clean state
  

These activities have spawned many related technologies and services that all in turn play a part in perpetuating this cycle, but aren't actually decreasing the number of infections, loss of data, or downtime. The nature of security breaches tends to force IT managers into crisis management rather than long-term strategic planning to address the fundamental problem.

For IT managers, the impact of the insanity cycle is devoting their personnel toward these low value, high cost activities – compliance, detection and remediation – and as a result, perpetuating the security insanity cycle rather than devoting resources toward implementing fundamentally sound architectures that address the security threat strategically.

In this talk, we'll explore methods, both technologies and architectures, for breaking this insanity cycle before the situation spirals out of control. Contrary to popular opinion, preventing security exploits is not a dead art or science. We'll discuss resilient architectures – architectures that separate untrusted code from trusted coded bases, architectures that do not depend on flawless programming in a million lines of code, and architectures that do not depend on every user to make correct security decisions every day for the network to be secure.
