Enterprise Threat Management Like a Boss
Attribution is hard. And in most business cases unnecessary. Threat Management, like Vulnerability Management, is a core pillar in most Enterprise Security Architectures (ESA), yet is a very different beast with completely separate functions, processes and skillset requirements. Similar to my previous talk on Enterprise Class Vulnerability Management, this talk takes the framework of the OWASP ASVS 2014 framework and applies it to Enterprise Threat Management in an attempt to make a clearly complicated yet necessary part of your organization’s ESA much more manageable, effective and efficient with feasible recommendations, based on your business’ needs.

(Your) Inevitable Path to the Cloud
Like the switch from steam to electric power a century ago, the shift to cloud computing is inevitable—in fact, it’s already here. But what this brings in efficiency, it misses in security as the lack of visibility in the virtual environment allows too much room for malicious activity. This presentation details the structure and blind spots of data centers and cloud environments and addresses ideas for companies to consider in securing their data assets.
