Too many Security and IT teams know the challenge of establishing an efficient and effective remediation workflow. Mired by murky direction, unsupported priorities, and an insurmountable number of vulnerabilities to tackle, friction can develop between these teams that ultimately hinders security efficacy. 

As companies transform their operations and secure their modern cloud workloads, this challenge that was previously considered “the nature of the beast” is no longer justifiable. To operationalize vulnerability management efforts, bilateral buy-in from both Security and IT teams is paramount. Aligning these groups can be simplified when both are working off the same list of data-backed, prioritized vulnerabilities.

How do you do this? 

VMware Carbon Black’s Senior Vice President of Security Products Tom Corn and Kenna Security’s Chief Product Officer Jason Rolleston will unpack the key steps needed to bridge the gap between Security and IT, including:

• Establishing a single source of truth for vulnerability prioritization between Security and IT
• Increasing the efficiency of vulnerability remediation efforts with clear data-backed prioritization
• Defining clear priorities and recommendations for Security and IT to execute to streamline vulnerability management tasks and improve overall security efficacy
• Saving time, money, and cycles by focusing on the vulnerabilities that will make the most impact

Security and IT teams rank improved collaboration as a top priority for the coming year. However, it’s not always an easy path to create true collaboration between teams. 83 percent of respondents state that IT and Security Teams have a negative relationship, according to a recent Forrester study. 

Security and IT teams moving to a more consolidated approach can tap into benefits including fewer security breaches, improved IT hygiene, and the ability to quickly identify, contain, and remediate threats.

How does this collaboration take place? What are the technologies that need to be in place for these teams to work together toward a common goal? What are the challenges faced?

Join experts Elizabeth Schultheisz, Bob Plankers, and Katherine Chipdey as they discuss how security and IT teams can collaborate. Gain insights including:

• How the roles of individuals on the team are shifting 
• The result of that shift and the new lines of communication required
• How VMware technologies interact with each other in order to enable efficiency and collaboration for your teams

How Cloud Native Endpoint and Workload Protection Will Prepare You for the Future 

Thanks to COVID-19, security and IT teams like yours responded— almost overnight— to a new reality. Organizations rushed to scale up distributed work, sometimes without considering the longer-term cybersecurity implications.

What’s next? Eventually, we will start to get back to normal—or realize the new normal. Enterprises will reflect on their pandemic responses from a cybersecurity perspective. For many firms, COVID-19 helped identify major gaps in securing employees outside of the office.

Distributed work is here to stay. It’s time to think about building a resilient and future ready security stack.

So what tools does your organization need to succeed in a post pandemic era? In this presentation, cybersecurity strategist James Alliband will discuss:

The three most pressing obstacles facing security today – siloed organizations, lack of contextual awareness, and bolted-on point products

Tools security & IT managers can implement now to support longer-term remote and distributed work

Why cloud native endpoint security should be top of your priorities when considering your digital transformation plan

Longer-term benefits of investing in cloud native solutions

Speakers

Adding new security tools to your SOC toolset may help alert you to your business’s latest cyber threats. However, when a million unprioritized alerts hit you in a day, it’s easy to quickly reach for the snooze button without understanding what is truly going on. Drowning in alerts, the best enterprises are discovering that to cut through the chaos and triage alerts accurately, operators need to understand the attack from the adversary’s perspective.

In this session, Randori Director of Offense, Evan Anderson, and VMware Carbon Black Senior Threat Researcher, Greg Foss will break down what’s going inside the mind of an adversary once they land inside the network, how they take advantage of your alert fatigue to hide in the noise.

Attendees will gain:

• A better understanding of the challenges and trade-offs adversaries have to consider when conducting an attack.
• Examples of real alerts overlooked by security teams and how you can tell the difference.
• Actionable tips on how you can leverage an adversary perspective to reduce alert fatigue and improve your visibility, detection, and response capabilities.
