The environment of today is under constant attack which has caused organizations to bolster their cyber defenses. Many industries and government agencies have come to rely on compliance standards (i.e. HIPAA, FISMA, NIST 800-53, GDPR) to ensure the environment is healthy and secure. They are two sides of a coin offering visibility into the environment as well as defined protection. Explore with HyTrust and our esteemed panel on how to create an effective state of compliance, and cyber posture for your virtual infrastructure!

Digital business transformation and the shift to a distributed workforce are driving networking and security to the cloud.

Fireside Chat: “How Pentesting Can Evolve To Enable Better Collaboration Between Security and Engineering

Cengage
Caroline Wong
Chief Strategy Officer
Eric Galis
VP, Compliance and Security

read more »

Fixing vulnerabilities found by third-party pentests has rarely been a smooth or collaborative process. Once the extensive PDF report hits their inboxes, teams struggle to exchange relevant information, issues aren’t added to sprints, and manual tasks slow the process down. Meanwhile, critical issues stay open.

To keep our applications secure, we need to be able to work together effectively. And the truth is, while pentesting has lagged behind, many other AppSec testing methods have adapted to DevOps workflows. This fact alone is what signals to Caroline Wong, Chief Strategy Officer at Cobalt, and Eric Galis, VP Compliance and Security at Cengage, that the problem isn’t so much with internal teams — it’s that pentest providers don’t set them up for success.

In this APEX Assembly session, Caroline and Eric will discuss how pentest delivery can evolve to enable faster, easier, and more effective remediation. Attendees can expect to learn:

  • What are the issues that prevent security and engineering from working together effectively
  • What changes can help remediation become a more collaborative process
  • What results teams can look forward to when implementing these changes

These days it seems no organization or industry is adverse to cyber attacks. From open-source software tools to critical infrastructure, threats are coming in all shapes and sizes. It’s more critical than ever to understand the threats facing your organization from the inside and your vendor ecosystem.

Managing your digital supply chain risk does not have to be a cumbersome process. Firms can look beyond security assessments and questionnaires to ensure that their vendor network is operating securely and efficiently.

During this session, attendees will learn:

  • new methods for managing supply chain risk
  • what tools are most effective to combat vendor risk
  • how to generate key data points to make effective third-party risk decisions
