Gain Visibility & Control of IT Assets in a Perimeterless WorldQualys
In today’s perimeterless world, enterprise security teams are challenged with maintaining visibility and control over the exploding number of assets on their networks.
The IT assets that pose the greatest risk to your organization’s security are the ones you don’t know are there. Without knowledge of which software and devices exist in your network — whether on-premises, on endpoints, or in elastic clouds — InfoSec professionals are unable to enact proper security and protection.
During this webcast, Jimmy Graham, Director of Product Management for Qualys AssetView and Darron Gibbard, Chief Technical Security Officer for Qualys EMEA, cover the six key elements of an ideal cloud-based IT asset inventory system:
1. Complete visibility of your IT environment
2. Deep visibility into assets
3. Continuous and automatic updates
4. Asset criticality ranking
5. Interactive, customizable dashboarding and reporting
6. Integration with your CMDB
Those of you in Europe will also be interested to learn about asset inventory for GDPR compliance.

5 Steps to a Zero Trust Network - From Theory to PracticeAlgoSec
A Zero Trust network abolishes the quaint idea of a “trusted” internal network demarcated by a corporate perimeter. Instead it advocates microperimeters of control and visibility around the enterprise’s most sensitive data assets and the ways in which the enterprise uses its data to achieve its business objectives.
In this webinar, guest speaker John Kindervag, Vice President and Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, and Nimmy Reichenberg, VP of Strategy at AlgoSec will explain why a Zero Trust network should be the foundation of your security strategy, and present best practices to help companies achieve a Zero Trust state.
The webinar will cover:
• What is a Zero Trust network, and why it should be a core component of your threat detection and response strategy
• Turning theory into practice: Five steps to achieve Zero Trust information security
• How security policy management can help you define and enforce a Zero Trust network

Mr. Landoll will focus on the NIST 800-53 framework as an example.
Ransomware Has Evolved And So Should Your CompanyVeriato
Ransomware is typically initiated via phishing or social engineering tactics, these attacks often take advantage of human error for the successful delivery of the malware. These criminal organizations are impartial to the size of your organization. They target any company with data, and if you don't pay the ransom, your information could be posted to a public forum or sold on the Dark Web for profit. Most companies unfortunately are forced to pay due to system failure and file corruption.
The scariest about these methods is that the Ransomware doesn't need to be developed by the attackers. Ransomware services can now be purchased on the DarkWeb and used at the Cybercriminal's will (RAAS). As these Ransomware attacks and services evolve, how can companies arm themselves with the right solutions to defend themselves from these evergrowing attacks?
Join us in our latest webinar with Dr. Christine Izuakor (cybersecurity expert) and Jay Godse (head of product dev at Veriato).
Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that Ransomware damage costs will exceed $5 billion in 2017, up more than 15X from 2015. This deck by Mat Hamlin, VP of Products at Spanning, and Brian Rutledge, Spanning's Security Engineer, will help you to:
- Understand Vulnerabilities in Various Platforms
- Get Pointers to Prepare for an Attack

How do we separate hype from useful information in Cyber Security? As Congress is debating a National privacy law, and several states have their own privacy and breach reporting laws including Georgia, how will that impact our workload? Privacy starts with good cyber-hygiene. We will look at how we can leverage the focus on Privacy to address standards for:
Firewall and network setups
Cloud security
Protocols and ports that need attention
Authentication best practices
Server and network rights
Password rules
Beware the Firewall My Son: The Jaws That Bite, The Claws That Catch!Michele Chubirka
Nothing strikes fear into the heart of an engineer more than the installation of a firewall to achieve the laudable goal of defense-in-depth through network segmentation. Security teams demand the implementation of firewalls telling everyone, “It’s for compliance!” But the addition of firewalls and other security appliances (aka chokepoints) into an infrastructure infuriates network engineers who design to optimize speed and minimize latency. Sysadmins and DBAs are equally frustrated, because of the increased complexity in building and troubleshooting applications. So it’s down the rabbit hole we go trying to achieve the unachievable with everyone waxing rhapsodic for those bygone days when the end-to-end principle ruled the Internet. Is it really possible to have security coexist with operational efficiency? Organizations seem happy to throw money at technology and operations, but when it comes to policies and procedures, they fail miserably. This is the biggest problem with building a layered design. As engineers, if we don’t have clear policies as a set of requirements, how will we determine the appropriate network segmentation and protections to put in place? The answer lies in aligning network segmentation with an organizational data classification matrix and understanding that while compliance and security often overlap, they’re not the same.
Regulatory compliance mandates have historically focused on IT & endpoint security as the primary means to protect data. However, as our digital economy has increasingly become software dependent, standards bodies have dutifully added requirements as they relate to development and deployment practices. Enterprise applications and cloud-based services constantly store and transmit data; yet, they are often difficult to understand and assess for compliance.
This webcast will present a practical approach towards mapping application security practices to common compliance frameworks. It will discuss how to define and enact a secure, repeatable software development lifecycle (SDLC) and highlight activities that can be leveraged across multiple compliance controls. Topics include:
* Consolidating security and compliance controls
* Creating application security standards for development and operations teams
* Identifying and remediating gaps between current practices and industry accepted "best practices”

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

3. Other SDA’s have learned that…
1. We are never as safe or secure as we think we are
2. Nobody’s defenses can protect against a determined
hacker
3. Networks and data systems are inherently insecure
• There are always vulnerabilities that can be
exploited
• 4. Your Response is More important than your security
Software One tends to Freeze without a plan!
4. People are the
strongest and
weakest link!
Security awareness should not be about security expertise:
It should give users small steps they can take to make it
more difficult for hackers!
5. Individuals Enable Hacking
• People make mistakes by:
• Sharing passwords
• Using outdated software
• Losing or improperly discarding files
• Mishandling personal information
• Storing unencrypted personal information on laptops or easily lost mobile
devices
• Circumventing information security controls
o Intentionally for their purposes;
o In the mistaken belief that they can improve efficiency;
o In narrow mindedly thinking that they “just need to get the job done” regardless
of risk
6. Overlooked Cyber issues
• Data Disclosure: (i.e. Website, Social media, recorded talks,
sharing personal data without agreements or consent)
• Untrusted Resources: (Personal devices and storage +
Downloaded software or apps, opening any and all attachments
by staff or contractors)
• Unstructured Information: (i.e. email, cloud storage with little to
no oversight, security or privacy)
7. What to Do?
1. Expect a breach & establish a response plan (Link to resources)
2. Purchase cyber insurance (A team to help you) (Link to
resources)
3. Develop, implement, & document policies and
procedures (Now)
4. Consider outsourcing some security aspects (e.g. 24/7
monitoring)
5. Have backups, backups of backups and backups where
people can’t find them (Link to Backup resources)
6. Discover then Restrict access to any system or report that
contains sensitive information (Link to sensitive data resource)
7. Use an out of band communication method (signal, telegram)
8. What to Do?
• 8. Establish a password manager (Link to
resources)
• 9. Limit local Admin accounts
• 10. Patch systems and applications
• 11. Use Multi-Factor authentication
• 12. Verify all 3rd party vendors (Link to Resources)
• 13. Risk Management is everyone’s responsibility
(Train Engage them)
• 14. Secure your Data Systems (Link to resources)
9. Reduce
reliance and
burden on
people
Start with
People
Policies Set the Framework to align People, Processes and
Technology
Policy without enforcement is a suggestion
Processes
Reflect need of
People in relation
to policies
& Technology
Holistic Cybersecurity:

Process
People
11. Cyber Incident Response Plan
• Key elements to have in place before a cyber incident occurs include:
A cyber incident response plan customized for the
organization’s specific Data Systems- (including cloud apps).
Well-defined and assigned roles to ensure appropriate
individuals understand their duties.
Communications plans so the organization can efficiently
communicate and explain reportable incidents.

13. Colonial Pipeline & SDA Church…
Gov issued Executive Order Requiring:
1. Multifactor Authentication (Limit Local Admin Accounts)
2. Zero Trust (Contain legacy systems) `
3. Use Risk based Governance & Compliance
4. Documented IR & communication plans
5. Vendor vetting (Link to template)

15. Governance Terminology
• Policies: Formal statements produced and
supported by senior management (Approved by your
board)
• Standards: Mandatory courses of action or rules
that give formal policies support and direction
(Approved by leadership team)
• Procedures: Detailed step-by-step technical
instructions to achieve a goal or mandate. (Managed
by tech team)
16. • •Data Integrity Procedures (Backups, retention, restore (overwrite) authorization, etc.)
(Link to templates)
•
• •Data Governance Procedures (DATA handling, lifecycle, deletion, access control &
authentication, etc.)
•
• •Data Classification Procedures (PII, PCI, PHI, and how the entity stores, accesses and
manages that data)
•
• •Email Retention Policy and Procedures (email is one of our significant internal
liabilities)
•
• •Incident Response Plan (Policies & Procedures) (Link to templates)

19. Security Response (i.e. Ransomware)
1. Know if your leadership is willing to pay
2. Start a log of all actions taken by who (Link to template)
3. Determine what is encrypted
4. Contain system pull network cable & disconnect wireless
5. Call Cyber Insurance team ….
6. (Ransomware Check Lists)
7. See if Ransomware has an unlock key www.nomoreransom.org
8. Determine if you need to report a breach
9. Consider contacting local and federal law www.ic3.gov

21. Common Pitfalls to Avoid
• Emphasizing highly publicized but rare threats over
basic cyber hygiene
• Treating cybersecurity as a one-off project instead of a
key organizational component
• Not sustaining budget and human resources for cyber
defenses
• Lack of vendor governance and oversight
22. More Common Pitfalls to Avoid
• Implementing the latest cybersecurity tools and
technology instead of addressing critical security
controls (Link to CIS v7 template)
• Have independent security reports that at not (captain
obvious)
• No written information security program with
supporting policies, processes, and procedures
• Lack of governance and oversight
23. Risk Management should:
• Support the strategic objectives
• Enhance institutional decision-making
• Create a “risk-aware” culture
• Reduce operational surprises and losses
• Assure greater business continuity
• Improve use of funding by aligning resources with objectives
• Bridge departmental silos
