Thursday, September 20th, 2018, 6:30 PM
Event Summary
From the perspective of a fellow traveler just starting on a journey we all are sharing, Sean will cuss and discuss the pursuit of automation in security. Topics like Security Automation and Orchestration Response in incident response, continuous implementation (CI)/continuous delivery (CD) in SecDevOps, and automation of onboarding and privilege management are some examples of areas that we will cover. More “How?,” than “How to,” this presentation will also share an overview of how the implementation of an agile work delivery model has improved cybersecurity services and capabilities in one organization. Bring your questions and lessons learned to share.
In addition, ISSA Chapter President Justin White will lead an analysis of the most recent news and discuss how cyber attackers continue to evolve during his monthly Garden Fresh presentation. In this presentation, we will explore the trends that define today’s threat landscape such as recent cyber attacks, intelligence-led insights, and advanced defensive strategies.
