What happens to an app's security after six months? What about a year or two years? A Secure SDLC needs to maintain security throughout an app's lifetime, but too often the rate of new flaws can outpace the rate of new code within an app. Appsec teams need strategies and processes to keep software secure for as long as possible.

Cybersecurity teams today are inundated with tools that provide an abundance of alerts and data about threats, gaps, vulnerabilities and everything in between. While security tools are critical to operating a cybersecurity program and produce helpful data, they should never dictate an organization’s cybersecurity strategy. Instead, Amad Fida, CEO & Founder of Brinqa, explains why business priorities should be the foundation for any company’s cybersecurity strategy.

Economic uncertainty has forced IT and security leaders to be more cautious than ever when increasing spending and team size. Suh dynamics give CISOs and CIOs an opportunity to demonstrate value by going beyond “merely” defending the organization from threats. We can contribute toward the organization’s efforts to constrain costs by looking inward at existing tools and assets to understand deployment, usage, and value. We can do this by ensuring the company is making the most of what it already has – and eliminating the spend that’s not being utilized in the most effective way.

In light of the constant change in the threat landscape, how does an organization keep up with the attackers who're always innovating? New specialized security solutions are regularly being introduced to address new threats, increasing complexities and the non-functional requirement(NFRs) associated with integration of these systems to already complicated enterprise web applications. How does an organization implement holistic defense without increasing cost, complexity and impacting user experience? Edgio will address how an edge-enabled holistic security platform can effectively reduce the attack surface, improve the effectiveness of the defense while reducing the latency of critical web applications via it’s multi-layered defense approach. It also offers the ability to integrate with an enterprises' DevSecOps workflow to achieve better security practices. Edio will discuss how its security platform “shrinks the haystacks” so that organizations can better focus on delivering key business outcomes.

A resilient cybersecurity strategy is essential to running your business while protecting against security threats and preventing data breaches. For CISOs, partnering with a managed service security provider (MSSP) means you can be in control of your organization’s information and infrastructure security without placing a strain on internal personnel or resources which is critical in today’s uncertain economy. With an MSSP on board, CISOs are better equipped to meet strategic and business goals, while improving operations and reducing expenses. This interview will discuss not only why to consider an MSSP but how to choose the right one for the job.

“Man plans, the Universe laughs” - unfortunately, that’s been the saying for far too long when it comes to cybersecurity. Security leaders know it's only a matter of time before their organization gets breached, but instead of being ready for it, they rely on fixing the problem after it happens. In Cisco’s newest report, the first ever Cybersecurity Readiness Index, it was found that a small minority of businesses globally (15%) consider themselves to be ready and able to defend against the expanding array of cybersecurity risks and threats of today. Organizations need to get ready and stay ready with solutions they can trust.

Application security is messy and is getting messier. Modern application security teams are struggling to identify what's more important to fix. Cloud security and application security is getting squeezed all together. Modern vulnerability maturity needs a new approach and guidance. Vulnerability management framework and mature defect management is often overlooked as organizations tend to identify issues and stop there. The devil is usually in the details and time gets burned down in identifying who needs to solve what where. Vulnerability Management Maturity Framework has been created to address that.

Today’s security products are evolving to meet the changing attack surface, each one targeting a specific set of risks. For organizations, this typically means that to increase security maturity, they need to implement a number of different solutions, and as the attack surface continues to expand, their tech stack quickly becomes difficult to manage. It’s time for the industry to help security teams achieve a better balance and reduce this operational burden.
