The concern over network and application security long ago moved out of the exclusive realm of IT and became something that every corporate manager and executive is focused on. While the IT organization retains the primary responsibility for warding off intrusions and extrusions, the impact of any attack is felt throughout an organization today – both in the direct costs of repairing the damage, and in the indirect costs which are incurred when corporate resources are “down” and core business goals simply can’t be forwarded. 2012 was a year of targeted attacks. Organizations that follow the industry best practices in terms of Security Architecture and Security Technologies are getting compromised by targeted attacks. This leads to certain questions – Are today’s Security Technology investments and Security Architecture frameworks apt enough in protecting against the new wave of attacks? Are the concepts of ‘Defense in Depth’ and ‘Layered Security’ still valid? Is there a ‘Next Generation’ silver bullet that can solve all the unknown attacks? ‘Managing Risk through Visibility’ is about analyzing the Security Technology investments and adding two new dimensions called ‘Proactive Risk Management’ and ‘Visibility’. Speaker delves into details of the importance of Proactive Security and visibility into IT operations from the perspective of Targeted and Zero-Day type of attacks.
