An introductory look at VM management and some of the issues existing today when applied to the enterprise space
Vulnerability Management
Presentation I gave to a client on showing the importance of implementing a vulnerability management program life cycle.
Vulnerability Assessment Presentation
The document discusses reducing security risks for small businesses through vulnerability assessments. It notes that small businesses are increasingly targeted by hackers. A vulnerability assessment includes a one-time scan of a business's security exposure across devices on its network to identify issues like out-of-date software. The assessment provides a report on findings prioritized by risk level and recommendations to remedy problems to help businesses strengthen their security before facing attacks.

• Step 6: Data Visibility
• Conclusion: Malware is Solved! What Now?
Endpoint security can be complex. Join us for this webinar to learn how applying a reasoned, results-based approach can help you can take control of your endpoints and silence attackers.
Effective Vulnerability Management
This document outlines the 5 steps of effective vulnerability management: prepare, detect, evaluate, remediate, and measure. It discusses important concepts for each step such as developing security policies and procedures, using vulnerability scanners, establishing evaluation and remediation criteria, implementing patches, and defining metrics to measure success. The document emphasizes that every environment is unique and input from IT teams is important to develop the right approach for each organization.
Enterprise Vulnerability Management: Back to Basics
Vulnerability Management is the lifecycle of identifying and remediating vulnerabilities in an organization's enterprise. A number of companies are starting to do this well, but in some cases, focus on advanced and emerging threats has had the unintended consequence of leaving Vulnerability Management unattended. Defense is actually hard work and people aren't doing it as well as they should! Considered in the context of asymmetric warfare, Blue Teaming is more difficult than Red Teaming. Coupled with the fact that most vulnerabilities do not actually suffer from advanced attacks and 0-days, Vulnerability Management must be the cornerstone of any Information Assurance Program.
The speakers, Kevin Dunn and Damon Small, will describe the key elements of a mature Vulnerability Management Program (VMP) and the pitfalls encountered by many organizations as they try to implement it. Dunn and Small will include detailed examples of why purchasing the scanner should be one of the last decisions made in this process, and what the attendee must do to ensure the successful defense of company assets and data. This session will cover:
- Vulnerability Management: What is it good for?
- What is it not good for?
- How do I make a real difference?

Vulnerability Management: What You Need to Know to Prioritize Risk
Abstract:
While vulnerability assessments are an essential part of understanding your risk profile, it's simply not realistic to expect to eliminate all vulnerabilities from your environment. So, when your scan produces a long list of vulnerabilities, how do you prioritize which ones to remediate first? By data criticality? CVSS score? Asset value? Patch availability? Without understanding the context of the vulnerable systems on your network, you may waste time checking things off the list without really improving security.
Join AlienVault for this session to learn:
*The pros & cons of different types of vulnerability scans - passive, active, authenticated, unauthenticated
*Vulnerability scores and how to interpret them
*Best practices for prioritizing vulnerability remediation
*How threat intelligence can help you pinpoint the vulnerabilities that matter

Vulnerability Management Program
Dennis Chaupis presented on vulnerability management programs. He explained that a VMP involves more than just vulnerability assessments and penetration testing, including asset management, patch management, infrastructure builds, technology intake processes, secure software development, threat intelligence, endpoint security, and defining an organization's risk appetite. A VMP relies on other security processes and aims to formalize how they work together. Key roles in a VMP include the CISO overseeing the program while working with the CIO, CRO, and chief auditor. Important outputs of a VMP are security metrics and reporting that show an organization's vulnerability status.
Is Your Vulnerability Management Program Irrelevant?
In this webcast, Scott Crawford from Enterprise Management Associates and Michelle Johnson Cobb of Skybox Security will discuss how to:
Link vulnerability discovery, risk-based prioritization, and remediation activities to effectively mitigate risks before exploitation.
Build a remediation strategy that addresses ‘unpatchable’ systems
Minimize change management headaches by anticipating unintended impacts due to system and application interdependencies.
Use metrics and key performance indicators (KPI’s) like remediation latency to track effectiveness of the vulnerability management program.

Enterprise Class Vulnerability Management Like A Boss
A fluid and effective Vulnerability Management Framework, a core pillar in most Enterprise Security Architectures (ESA), remains a continual challenge to most organizations. Ask any of the major breach targets of the past several years. This talk takes the recent OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) 2014 framework and applies it to Enterprise Vulnerability 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.
Vulnerability Assessment
Vulnerability assessment is the systematic evaluation of an organization's exposure to threats. It involves identifying assets, evaluating threats against those assets, determining vulnerabilities, assessing risks, and selecting appropriate controls. Various techniques can be used including asset identification, threat modeling, vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and risk assessment. The goal is to establish a security baseline and mitigate risks through hardening systems and ongoing monitoring.

Why Patch Management is Still the Best First Line of Defense
Today more than 2 million malware signatures are identified each month and traditional anti-virus defenses simply can’t keep up. Even the major anti-virus vendors have concluded that stand-alone anti-virus no longer provides an effective defense and that additional layers of security technology are needed to address the rising volume and sophistication of threats. View this presentation to learn:
• Why you can’t forget about older vulnerabilities
• How to reduce exposure from both OS and 3rd party application vulnerabilities
• The challenges with reliance upon “free” patching tools and native updaters

Challenges of Vulnerability Management
This document discusses Atos India's vulnerability management process. It outlines that vulnerability management is the process of identifying security weaknesses, evaluating risks, and remediating issues. Atos manages over 13,000 IT systems and 2,200 critical assets. Their vulnerability management cycle involves scanning for vulnerabilities, evaluating and prioritizing them, developing remediation plans, patching systems, and confirming issues are resolved. In 8 months using this process, Atos reduced vulnerabilities by 78%, outdated systems by 36%, and improved their compliance and customer confidence. They continue improving by monitoring new threats and evaluating team performance.
Is Your Vulnerability Management Program Keeping Pace With Risks?
The document discusses best practices for next-generation vulnerability management. It outlines challenges with traditional vulnerability management programs, such as only scanning periodically, analyzing outdated scan data, and ineffectively prioritizing remediation. The document proposes that next-generation programs use continuous, non-disruptive discovery methods, automated risk-based analysis and prioritization, and optimal mitigation alternatives beyond just patching. These predictive analytics approaches can provide complete visibility and ensure frequent knowledge of vulnerabilities to most effectively reduce security risks over time.

Vulnerability Management Nirvana: A Study in Predicting Exploitability
When everything is a priority, nothing is. 15% or 10,000 vulnerabilities have a CVSS score of 10. Vendors and practitioners alike use CVSS or their own threat intelligence models to predict which vulnerabilities will be exploited next. We review current options, present a predictive data-driven prioritization model, and how attendees can get started using our approach in their vulnerability management program.
Software Vulnerability management
An insider threat is defined as a malicious insider who intentionally exploits their privileged access to an organization's network, systems, and data. Common insider threats include data exfiltration, violations against data integrity, and sabotage of information and communication technology systems. The document discusses taxonomy of insider types and specific threats, data sources and analytics for detecting threats, algorithms for identifying threats, and challenges around managing big dirty data and extracting knowledge to support intelligent decision making regarding insider threats.
Improve Situational Awareness for Federal Government with AlienVault USM
Securing your network from threats is a constantly evolving challenge, especially for federal government agencies with much valuable data to protect, and where IT security resources are often limited. AlienVault has helped many government organizations get complete security visbility for effective threat detection and response, without breaking the bank.
Join us for a live demo to see how AlienVault USM addresses these key IT security needs:
Discover all IP-enabled assets to get an accurate picture of attack surface
Identify vulnerabilities like insecure configurations and unpatched software
Improve situational awareness with real-time threat detection and alerting
Speed incident containment & response with built-in remediation guidance for every alert
Investigate anomalies in protocol usage, privilege escalation, host behavior and more
Generate fast & accurate reports for compliance & management
Improve threat detection with hids and alien vault usm
Host-based intrusion dection systems (HIDS) work by monitoring activity that is occurring internally on a host. HIDS look for unusual or nefarious activity by examining logs created by the operating system, looking for changes made to key system files, tracking installed software, and sometimes examining the network connections a host makes. AlienVault USM integrates HIDS with other key security controls to help you get the most out of HIDS, including:
Analyzing system behavior and configuration status to track user access and activity
Detecting system compromise, modification of critical configuration files (e.g. registry settings, /etc/passwd), common rootkits, and rogue processes
Correlating HIDS data with known IP reputation, vulnerability scans and more
Logging and reporting for PCI compliance
Watering Hole Attacks: Detect End-User Compromise Before the Damage is Done
Attackers are becoming increasingly skilled at planting malicious code on websites frequented by their desired targets, commonly called "watering hole" attacks. These can be very difficult to detect since they happen as users are going about their normal business. Join us a technical demo to watch a live example of this attack and how to detect it immediately using AlienVault USM.
Implementing Vulnerability Management
Derek Milroy, IS Security Architect at U.S. Cellular Corporation, defined “vulnerability management” and how it affects today’s organizations during his presentation at the 2014 Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Leadership Forum in Chicago on Nov. 19. In his presentation, “Enterprise Vulnerability Management/Security Incident Response,” Milroy noted vulnerability management has different meanings to different organizations, but an organization that utilizes vulnerability management processes can effectively safeguard its data.
According to Milroy, an organization should develop its own vulnerability management baselines to monitor its security levels. By doing so, Milroy said an organization can launch and control vulnerability management systems successfully. In addition, Milroy pointed out that vulnerability management problems occasionally will arise, but a well-prepared organization will be equipped to handle such issues: “Problems are going to happen … You have to work with your people. This can translate to any tool that you’re putting in place. Make sure your people have plans for what happens when it goes wrong, because it’s going to [happen] every single time.”
Milroy also noted that having actionable vulnerability management data is important for organizations of all sizes. If an organization evaluates its vulnerability management processes regularly, Milroy said, it can collect data and use this information to improve its security: “The simplest rule of thumb for vulnerability management, click the report, hand the report to someone. Don’t ever do that. There is no such thing as a report from a tool that you can just click and hand to someone until you first tune it and pare it down.”

Alien vault sans cyber threat intelligence
Over the last several years, we have seen that attackers are innovating much faster than defenders are. This trend is steering many companies to look towards cyber threat intelligence (CTI) to help them navigate today’s threatening landscape. SANS conducted a survey this year to explore who is using cyber threat intelligence and how they are using it. The survey collected responses from 326 IT professionals working in a variety of industries, in all sizes and from many different regions. 69% of the respondents reported implementing CTI to some extent, with only 16% planning not to pursue CTI in their environments. Which side of this percentage do you fall into? The infographic below provides some of the key questions to ask when getting started with threat intelligence, along with data from the SANS survey to show you how others are using threat intelligence.

Milroy also noted that having actionable vulnerability management data is important for organizations of all sizes. If an organization evaluates its vulnerability management processes regularly, Milroy said, it can collect data and use this information to improve its security: “The simplest rule of thumb for vulnerability management, click the report, hand the report to someone. Don’t ever do that. There is no such thing as a report from a tool that you can just click and hand to someone until you first tune it and pare it down.”

Alien vault sans cyber threat intelligence
Over the last several years, we have seen that attackers are innovating much faster than defenders are. This trend is steering many companies to look towards cyber threat intelligence (CTI) to help them navigate today’s threatening landscape. SANS conducted a survey this year to explore who is using cyber threat intelligence and how they are using it. The survey collected responses from 326 IT professionals working in a variety of industries, in all sizes and from many different regions. 69% of the respondents reported implementing CTI to some extent, with only 16% planning not to pursue CTI in their environments. Which side of this percentage do you fall into? The infographic below provides some of the key questions to ask when getting started with threat intelligence, along with data from the SANS survey to show you how others are using threat intelligence.

Multi user performance on mc cdma single relay cooperative system by distribu...
Increasing data rate and high performance is the target focus of wireless communication. The multi carrier on multi-hop communication system using relay's diversity technique which is supported by a reliable coding is a system that may give high performance. This research is developing a model of multi user and two scheme of multi carrier CDMA on multi hop communication system with diversity technique which is using Alamouti codes in Rayleigh fading channel. By Alamouti research, Space Time Block Code (STBC) for MIMO system can perform high quality signal at the receiver in the Rayleigh fading channel and the noisy system. In this research, MIMO by STBC is applied to single antenna system (Distributed-STBC/DSTBC) with multi carrier CDMA on multi hop wireless communication system (relay diversity) which is able to improve the received signal performance.
MC DS CDMA on multi hop wireless communication system with 2 hops is better performing than MC CDMA on multi user without Multi User Detector. To reach BER 10-3 multi hop system with MC CDMA needs more power 5 dB than MC DS CDMA at 5 users using Alamouti scheme for symbol transmission at the relay.

Presentation infra and_datacentrre_dialogue_v2
Threats from cyber attacks are increasing and becoming more sophisticated. Existing security tools and even next-generation tools are often ineffective at detecting advanced persistent threats. It is an asymmetrical conflict where defenders must focus on fundamentals like training employees, prioritizing security over compliance, and implementing defense-in-depth across endpoints, networks, data in transit, cloud systems, and internal systems to build a more defensible infrastructure and gain situational awareness of attacks. Continuous improvement is needed to counter evolving adversary techniques.
What to Expect When You're Expecting (to Own Production)
The intended presentation audience is developers unfamiliar with owning a production environment. I aim to share lessons I’ve learned while supporting production environments and to paint a path for how ownership can be built.
By no means is this intended to be a comprehensive guide to production ownership. Instead, it should be treated as an introduction or one of the first few steps into the topic.
This presentation was motivated by a former colleague seeking to help frame his team's mindset toward production ownership. He joined a team that was not accustomed to production deploys, on-call, etc and thought it would be valuable to share insight from our experience together in an environment where developers co-owned production.

2016 - Safely Removing the Last Roadblock to Continuous Delivery
Presentation by Shannon Lietz
Software needs to be awesome, resilient, available and “secure”, but Security has long been a big roadblock to fast deployments and software improvement. What if it wasn’t?
Continuous delivery requires operational functions to shift left and for an iterative approach to be taken. Security has not been easy to shift left and taking an iterative approach requires everyone to take responsibility. With a continuos security approach and everyone in the Software Supply Chain taking on the tasks of including security, its possible to achieve Rugged Software. This talk aims to provide a journey towards this approach and provide the path.

Safely Removing the Last Roadblock to Continuous Delivery
This document discusses how to implement DevSecOps practices to safely enable continuous delivery. It advocates shifting security left by integrating security practices into development workflows from design through deployment. This allows security issues to be identified and addressed early before they become costly problems. The document outlines DevSecOps staffing models and provides examples of how practices like automated security testing, secure baselines and templates, and monitoring can help operationalize security and reduce mean time to remediate issues from months to hours.
Beyond security testing
This document provides an overview of secure software engineering and the role of security testers. It discusses how security should be considered a core feature rather than an afterthought in the development process. The document outlines Microsoft's Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) as a comprehensive software process model that embeds security activities throughout requirements, design, implementation, verification and evolution. It describes how threat modeling can be used to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities. Finally, it discusses the security tester's role in building test plans from threat models, testing component interfaces using data mutation techniques, and adopting a "hacker's mindset" to find security issues.

Is the SOC working as a viable business model (or security model)?
This document discusses the security operations center (SOC) model and whether it is still a viable approach. It notes that traditional SOCs are high cost, do not scale well, rely too heavily on humans, and provide opaque effectiveness. While a SOC is meant to improve security incident detection, existing models may miss threats and be overwhelmed by alerts. The document suggests that instead of scrapping SOCs, organizations should complement technology with approaches like AI, isolation techniques, and focus on resilience and crisis management. A new approach to SOCs is needed that places more trust in technology to detect threats effectively.
Machine learning 101 - or less
Machine learning algorithms are being used to solve complex problems by playing games. DeepMind developed AlphaGo which was able to beat world champions at the games of Go, Chess, and Shogi by teaching itself without human programming. AlphaGo also defeated top human players in StarCraft 2 using a combination of deep neural networks and tree search methods. While machine learning has achieved successes, it also faces limitations such as bias in training data and lack of human-level judgment in complex ethical scenarios.
The cyber security hype cycle is upon us
The document discusses several topics related to technology disruption and advancement. It begins by predicting that in 2018, companies will continue to struggle with security operations center deployments, incident response, and log fatigue. It also predicts that skills gaps in security will deteriorate further and that phishing attacks will remain common. The document goes on to discuss the lack of accountability and consumer rights issues with the technology industry. It raises concerns about vendor lock-in effects from increased API and cloud integration.
Architecting trust in the digital landscape, or lack thereof
This document discusses the zero-trust security model and its implementation challenges. It notes that many data breaches are caused by internal actors like employees. The zero-trust model proposes restricting access and assuming all users may be compromised. However, fully implementing it poses architectural complexities and risks hindering productivity. True security requires balancing controls with usability. Emerging technologies like blockchain and distributed ledgers may help establish new chains of trust across systems. Overall, simplification is needed as complexity breeds new vulnerabilities. There are no perfect solutions, only ongoing efforts to strengthen security through principles like transparency, resiliency and accountability.
SOC: Use cases and are we asking the right questions?
The document discusses the use of use cases to define the goals and metrics for a security operations center (SOC) program. It suggests developing use cases around monitoring specific threat vectors like the perimeter, infrastructure, and privileged accounts. Use cases should also align the SOC's capabilities with the threats the organization cares most about, such as script kiddies, insider threats, or nation-state actors. Properly defining use cases allows an organization to justify SOC expenditures and determine if it is achieving success.
XAI – accountability unchecked
XAI aims to increase transparency and accountability in AI systems by making their decision-making processes more explainable to humans. Interest in XAI grew as machine learning models became more complex and opaque. While techniques like deep learning are very effective, they can be difficult for humans to understand. This lack of explainability poses challenges for assessing accountability when things go wrong. Future work on XAI focuses on developing more interpretable and transparent models to provide insight into how AI systems derive their results.
Cyber speed – the unknown velocity component
The document discusses the concept of velocity as it relates to cyber crises. It defines key terms like velocity, breach, and social impact. It argues that traditional measures of time like SI units are not meaningful for understanding crisis response, and that the speed of social networks is more important. It suggests defenders need to understand an adversary's speed, lay traps, and remain agile to keep up with the fast pace of cyber attacks in today's digital world. The current defender model is broken because it cannot respond in real-time at the speed information spreads on social platforms.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.How to Interpret Trends in the Kalyan Rajdhani Mix Chart.pdf

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Blue Ocean IT Security
- 3. • Inspired from Haroon Meer’s BlackHat Europe 2015 keynote where he made the following observations – An upcoming security apocalypse is on the horizon – There is a crisis of confidence – “For the thousands your organization spends on security, you can't protect the one guy who is most valuable to you. Worse yet, would you even know if he was popped?”* * http://blog.thinkst.com/2011/03/our-upcoming-security-apocalypse.html Sub headline AGENDABLUE OCEAN IT Security Inspiration
- 4. • The issues facing the IT security field haven’t changed in the last 15 years • “Draining the swamp” issue leads to misdirection concerning the root-cause of the problem • A perspective/cultural shift needs to take place concerning the approach Sub headline AGENDABLUE OCEAN IT Security Direction
- 5. Patching / Updates (Upgrades) When did we allow this bahviour to become the ‘norm’ and ‘expected’? 3 pillars BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY Resiliance What happened to load balancing/fail over? Automation Have all engineers been swollowed by the Tech firms?
- 6. Your own footer Your Logo Patching / Updates (Upgrades) Sub headline AGENDABLUE OCEAN STRATEGY
- 7. • Why is patching accepted? – A legacy left over from the hardware days • Since the days of paper tape and punch cards, physical patching was accepted • It was then translated into the software world • Designed principally as a mitigating action for unreliable hardware – Hardware resiliance has improved, while software resiliance has stagnated and in some cases deteriorated Sub headline AGENDABLUE OCEAN IT Security Patching / Updates (Upgrades)
- 8. • Do we accept this for microwaves, digital watches or other consumer goods? – You buy an item and don’t expect it to break within 2 months. – Consumer rights acts exist to protect customers against such situations (ratified through law) • T&C’s conveniently provide a ‘get-out-of-jail- free’ card with a no opt-out option. – ‘Our way, or the high way’ Sub headline AGENDABLUE OCEAN IT Security Patching / Updates (Upgrades)
- 9. • An open door – This mechanism allows 3rd parties access to our systems at a privileged level – It’s provided the perfect back-dooring model which everyone accepts (incl. the IT security community) Sub headline AGENDABLUE OCEAN IT Security Patching / Updates (Upgrades)
- 10. • The excuse: – Software engineering is hard and you will never develop a bug free system • The response: – So what?: • Which bugs really cripple systems operationally, when they’ve been correctly engineered? • An answer: – Cleanroom software engineering (Harlan Mills) • e.g. Avionics, mission critical systems etc. Sub headline AGENDABLUE OCEAN IT Security Patching / Updates (Upgrades)

- 15. Your own footer Your Logo Automation Sub headline AGENDABLUE OCEAN STRATEGY
- 16. • Strong engineering principles must be adhered to • Develop strong developer governance around SSDLC – Integrate mandatory security gating into the SDLC • Internal talent retention – Holistic work flow automation – Internal employees often better positioned to take birds-eye view to build-out process automation Sub headline AGENDABLUE OCEAN IT Security Automation
- 17. • Ensure security controls are automatically checked/reported – Without this, security will be by-passed • Process automation critical – Excel must be replaced with dynamic reporting. Static data analytics cripples agility – Remove the human Sub headline AGENDABLUE OCEAN IT Security Automation
