Security Information and Event Management – What’s on Your Dashboard?
Effective security starts with real-time visibility into all activity on all systems, networks, databases, and applications. Revolutionizing your security involves connecting a real-time understanding of the world outside—threat data, reputation data, and vulnerability news—with a real-time understanding of the systems, data, and activities inside your enterprise.
Join our session to learn more about:
- Detailed analytics on IT infrastructure.
- Granular reporting on enterprise risk profile.
- Event escalation process based on enterprise risk tolerance.
Secure log repository / long-term event integrity.

Manage, Control, and Audit the Use of Shared, Privileged, and Administrative Accounts
- Do you know how many privileged, shared, or generic identities exist within your IT infrastructure?
- Do you know who has access to these accounts and what they’re doing during administrative sessions?
- Are auditors requesting reports on entitlement to and usage of these identities?
The average enterprise includes thousands of privileged identities, accounts, and passwords. Manually managing and updating these is a time-consuming, costly and repetitive process. Administrative and application accounts (hard-coded, embedded credentials) can be found in network devices, servers, and software within an organization, including virtual environments, yet access to these accounts is unmonitored. Sharing of access to these accounts occurs frequently, so the system does not track WHO logged in, merely that a login occurred—a significant audit challenge.
Learn how to mitigate the risk of mismanagement of shared, privileged, and administrative accounts and how to address associated audit and compliance findings. |

ELIMINATING DATA SECURITY THREAT
Unstructured and semi-structured data presents unique challenges to IT organizations when it comes to identifying who has access, who is accessing and most importantly, who should have access to shared Windows, NAS and UNIX folders, SharePoint sites and Exchange mailboxes and public folders. Information Security organizations have traditionally struggled with the overwhelming manual process of enforcing authentication, authorization and accountability controls on these resources as well as identifying data owners who should be making these decisions. Varonis Systems, a global leader in data governance presents new solutions for helping meet these challenges both today and into the future.
Bob Krzysik is a 20+year technology industry veteran. Prior to joining Varonis, he held senior engineer and security consultants roles in a variety of industries, including pharmaceutical, communications, and manufacturing. His experience spans management roles with start-ups to multi-national companies like AT&T and IBM. Throughout his career, Bob has helped companies of all sizes design, build and maintain flexible, robust and secure information technology systems and services.
Bob joined Varonis in 2006 and now manages the East Region Systems Engineer Team.

Securing the Virtual World
Virtualization is part of an overall trend within IT to centralize administrative tasks while improving scalability and workloads. Questions have arisen around security within virtualized environments and if they are as safe as physical environments or even perhaps safer. This presentation addresses the challenges that are faced and how to tackle them successfully.

The Kill Chain: Improving the Efficacy of Intrusion Defense Mechanisms
Intrusion defense mechanisms have been around for approximately two decades. However, slippery assailants continue to evade even state-of-the-art mechanisms. We have more technology than ever but few approaches that work reliably, especially given with the explosion of attack vectors. The problem of accurate and consistent attack detection and defense amid a sea of noise appears no less difficult than during the early years. This talk will attempt to detail the shortcomings of current detection and defense approaches and describe the "Kill Chain" and how it can help improve the efficacy of modern intrusion defense mechanisms. |

Trusted Computing: The Industry’s Answer to Rapidly Changing Cyber Security Threats
The upswing in publicized data breaches and hacks clearly shows that today’s security hasn’t kept pace with the rapidly evolving threat landscape. Moreover, the consequences of data breaches have never been higher, with Federal, state, and industry regulations mandating stiff fines and public disclosure in the event of a breach.
As traditional software defenses prove vulnerable to the plethora of viruses, malware, and Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), those with sensitive data and networks to protect should consider hardware-based security solutions. Developed in accordance with open-industry standards set by the Trusted Computing Group, these technologies are vendor-neutral and designed to take advantage of hardware security already embedded in many enterprise PCs. Trusted Computing technologies such as the self-encrypting drive (SED) and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) security chip are the result of a decade of industry collaboration. These technologies allow for best-in-class encryption without impacting performance (SED), perform digital signature operations and securely measure, store, and report on integrity metrics (TPM). With proper management tools, these technologies also can be leveraged to include remote management, password recovery, and secure audit logs to prove compliance.
This session will address how Trusted Computing can give enterprises the ability to make security whole again by knowing their devices, data, and networks. Attendees will gain relevant proof points and practical solutions for current security threats. |
