Posted by Administrator Thursday, September 17, 2020

Please join ISSA KC chapter members and other security professionals for a virtual meeting on September 24th, 2020.

Topic:
Risk Management vs Vulnerability Management

Discussion Summary:
Security threat landscapes are ever changing as we try to protect critical data assets in our diverse environments. Performing risk assessments, vulnerability assessments, and implementing risk/vulnerability management programs will help to effectively manage cybersecurity vulnerabilities throughout their lifecycles. Risk assessment results identify the actual risk that could be realized due to the existence or exploitation of a specific threat/vulnerability and drive risk based decisions. Both risk and vulnerability management are essential components to understanding threats to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical data assets.

Topic:
“SIEMple Steps to Detect, Investigate Advanced Unknown Threats, and Respond"

Topic Summary:
With limited budgets, resources, and various tools, many security teams struggle to detect even basic threats and attacks. Statistics show nearly half of all breach victims have zero visibility they've been attacked, with the average breach to detect time around 196 days, or until they have been notified by an outside party. During this session and product demonstration, we'll share common challenges security teams experience and provide you with how to detect, investigate advanced unknown threats, and quickly respond using cyber kill chain.

The topics of this presentation include:

Uncover potential threats in your environment with real-time insight into indicators of compromise (IOS) and malicious host
Point and click search for efficient threat hunting
Incorporating automation and orchestration into your SOC to make your cybersecurity and incident response team more productive
How to collect and secure data storage without volume-based pricing
Enhance your cloud security with extended controls
