As security leaders evaluate the vast array of tools available to combat ransomware attacks, endpoint and extended detection and response solutions still stand out as the best defense against emerging threats. How can an enterprise know which of these tools is the best though?
Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) surveyed IT professionals, information security practitioners, and technology business leaders across all verticals to discover their attitudes and perspectives toward XDR solutions. The primary goal was to use survey responses and third-party interviews to create a comprehensive definition of “What is XDR?” for leaders to use as part of their solution evaluation process.
Check out these research slides featuring Christopher Steffen, CISSP, CISA, and vice president of research at EMA, to discover the definition and get results from this research.
Does Anyone Remember Enterprise Security Architecture?rbrockway
The concept of Enterprise Security Architecture (ESA) is not new (Gartner 2006), yet the numbers from the past several years’ worth of breach data indicates that most organizations continue to approach security on a project by project basis or from a compliance perspective. This talk will refresh the ESA concept and communicate tangible and realistic steps any organization can take to align their security processes, architecture and management to their business strategies, reduce business risks and significantly improve their overarching security posture.

Cyber threat intelligence CTI is now more accessible than ever, even for small businesses that were previously financially restricted from accessing this important cybersecurity tool. However, this sharing and accessibility present new challenges that result in increased CTI data, which must be analyzed and processed.
In this research, Enterprise Management Associates set out to discover which CTI sources, methods, and integrations are currently working in the industry and where there is room for improvement. The research provides key insights on the methods organizations are having the most success with and how organizations can better leverage CTI in their everyday operations.
Optimizing Security Operations: 5 Keys to SuccessSirius
Organizations are suffering from cyber fatigue, with too many alerts, too many technologies, and not enough people. Many security operations center (SOC) teams are underskilled and overworked, making it extremely difficult to streamline operations and decrease the time it takes to detect and remediate security incidents.
Addressing these challenges requires a shift in the tactics and strategies deployed in SOCs. But building an effective SOC is hard; many companies struggle first with implementation and then with figuring out how to take their security operations to the next level.
Read to learn:
--Advantages and disadvantages of different SOC models
--Tips for leveraging advanced analytics tools
--Best practices for incorporating automation and orchestration
--How to boost incident response capabilities, and measure your efforts
--How the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and CIS Controls can help you establish a strong foundation

By the end of 2023, 83% of enterprises expect to connect operational technology (OT) and IoT devices to their enterprise networks, according to Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) research. IT and OT are converging so that enterprises can analyze OT data, innovate, and optimize industrial systems. A new approach to OT security is required.
Enterprises need to modernize network architecture to protect these critical assets, especially by updating their network security and modernizing their approach to network segmentation.
These slides explore how enterprises can use OT-dedicated firewalls and zero trust network access to protect OT systems from malicious actors.
Despite claims that the rise of cloud cuts the relevance of CMDB, Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) experience and field research consistently find the opposite to be true. In a recent EMA research study, a panel of global IT leaders stated that CMDB use was central to major functions. For many of those respondents, CMDB use was viewed as increasing in importance for automation of complex processes.
Where is the disconnect?
Check out these slides from EMA's Research Director, Valerie O’Connell, to get insights into the research findings, including:
- CMDB use is increasing for 64% of organizations
- Hybrid organizations have the highest rate of CMDB use increase
- 24% update the CMDB in real time. Is that the right frequency?
- Why CMDB has an uneven reputation
- Success rates, reasons, and returns

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
