Open Security - from patchwork to platform
As organizations adopt new technologies and utilize the cloud for business innovation and growth, security teams are challenged with ensuring that those initiatives and missions are successful. They are faced with creating an effective security program from a fragmented patchwork of solutions and data sources that do not easily interoperate without a great deal of custom development and integration.To help address this industry wide problem, IBM joined forces with 25 other cybersecurity vendors - including McAfee and Crowdstrike - to form the Open Cybersecurity Alliance (OCA) to promote open and interoperable cybersecurity. OCA members subscribe to the mantra of "Integrate Once, Reuse Everywhere" to enable security teams to focus on solving security issues rather than getting tools to work together. Join IBM Security's Chris Bontempo, VP of Marketing for Cloud & Cognitive Solutions, to hear how the OCA members are working together and contributing foundational technologies under the open-source Apache 2.0 license to enable security solutions to communicate with each other over a standard fabric during the entire threat management life cycle.

You Need to Know Who Is Accessing Your Data, But Do You Really?
Knowing who is accessing what data is at the heart of security. Today, users and attackers get to your data through a mesh of web applications, APIs, and microservices. Unfortunately, your database logs only report the querying source as an authorized intermediary application without the originating requestor's information. This blind spot causes glaring gaps during audits, slows incident response, and impede breach detection.
Learn how to apply new ways of continuously linking originating users' information to every database access with cohesive interworking between edge WAF, server RASP, and Data Activity Monitoring tools.

How Self-Compliant Endpoints Can Automate Security
As more separate tools are introduced into the enterprise to manage the pre and post Covid enterprise, IT folks are often overwhelmed with trying to keep endpoints patched, secure and complaint. Often the sheer number of tools used for separate devices and operating systems makes this an infinite task that is never really complete until the following patch cycle. In this session we will explore those challenges and how they can be remediated.
Consideration: If you were asked to continuously patch all of your endpoints across your enterprise, how many tools would you need and how would you handle those endpoints that are off the corporate network? These issues can be handled smoothly with:
- The right tools
- The right processes
- An automated, self-healing and self-complaint endpoint environment
Join this webinar to learn how to quickly shift endpoints to remote workers, speed processes, and an automated, self-healing endpoint environment.

Why an integrated security environment is no longer a choice
Threats have changed over the years and so have the targets. It's not just your perimeter that is at risk, it's your customers, your supply chain, your staff, and your business reputation that could be easily tarnished with just one breach. In this session, we'll cover how and why you should look at an integrated approach to IT security, with an ecosystem of vendors that work together for the greater good of you the customer. One solution will not solve all threats, a layered approach is better but deep integration with threat data sharing at speed is a modern necessity.

Zero Trust And Data Security: Artificial Intelligence Meets Denise In Accounting
Zero trust data security aspirations are tough to achieve when security policy makers are everyday employees. When they overshare files, users like Denise in Accounting can put business critical data in jeopardy. Zero trust security for unstructured data is essential - and very hard to accomplish.
Spotting risk with rules, regular expressions or end-user classification doesn't work. Those approaches are complex, hard to manage and unreliable. Fortunately, emerging solutions based on artificial intelligence can help.
New deep learning solutions can identify business-critical data and crowd source correct security policies. Effective, actionable security for unstructured data that doesn't burden IT staff - or depend on Denise to make the right decision - is within reach.
Join us to learn:
- How can artificial intelligence and deep learning autonomously discover and categorize the millions of files your end users create and manage every day?
- What is Risk Distance TM analysis, and how does it work to crowd-source security policies?
- Who's using these techniques today and what are their use cases?
