@ RSA Conference 2024 USA

TechTarget and Enterprise Strategy Group’s 2024 Technology Spending Intentions Study found that vulnerability management, penetration testing, API security, DDoS defense, and web app security topped the list of intended application security (AppSec) spending areas for the next 12 months.

How do these investments align with your own, and what other emerging AppSec areas should you keep top of mind? For one, predictive risk scoring is growing in importance.

Watch this Fireside Chat at the 2024 RSA Conference on May 6th, featuring Enterprise Strategy Group Practice Director Melinda Marks and CTO of Invicti Frank Catucci, for a predictive risk scoring deep dive, including:

• How does predictive risk scoring work?
• How does it utilize AI?
• How does this factor into the attack surface management (ASM) discussion?
• And a spotlight on the future of AppSec and AppSec trends.

Increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks continue to plague organizations like yours. Think Ransomware as a Service, spear phishing, whaling, and cloud data breaches—you name the threat, and it continues to evolve year over year.

To position your organization in a strategic advantage in the fight against these cyber threats and digital crime requires comprehensive threat intelligence. Threat intelligence delivers an understanding of what is happening in today’s landscape and provides crucial context, a priority with which ESET can assist.

Register for this recorded Fireside Chat at RSA 2024 to understand how to apply powerful threat intelligence in your company, featuring a conversation between Chief Security Evangelist at ESET Tony Anscombe and Enterprise Strategy Group's Dave Gruber, Principal Analyst, Ransomware, SecOps & Services. The agenda includes:

• Why ESET has unparalleled in-the-field threat intelligence experience
• Unpacking ESET’s 100% retention rate on our APT reports and feeds
• ESET’s AI/ML capabilities that automate threat investigation
• Recent and future updates to ESET Threat Intelligence, such as the portal chatbot and new bundled options

Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting browsers to steal stored passwords, cookies and other information as a pathway to access sensitive data. To help defend against such attacks, CyberArk recently released CyberArk Secure Browser, a gateway to securing every identity. But what makes the CyberArk browser different from other enterprise browsers on the market?

Join us for this webinar as Amy Blackshaw, VP of Product Marketing, CyberArk, sits down with Melinda Marks to discuss CyberArk’s unique identity-centric approach to the browser and how it can thwart cyberattacks right from the first click.

This session will cover:
• The role of a secure browser in enabling end-to-end identity security
• Why cookie-less authentication matters
• The difference between identity access management and identity security

Unravel the complexities of cyber resilience. This discussion highlights the 2024 Futures Report - a global survey of over 1,000 IT and cybersecurity professionals. Findings showcase barriers to cyber resilience and how to overcome those barriers, threat propensity across seven industries and how those industries are prepared to withstand an attack, and what steps should be taken to continue the journey to cyber resiliency.

Chief Evangelist AT&T Cybersecurity/Agent for LevelBlue Theresa Lanowitz joins Gabe Knuth — Enterprise Strategy Group Senior Analyst of End-user Computing & User Protection—to unpack the complexities of cyber resilience and dive into AT&T’s new thought leadership research that examines:

1. Business and cyber resilience
2. Attack types and remediation preparedness across vertical markets and countries
3. Steps for future organizational planning and cyber resilience

As the digital landscape grows in complexity and as cyber threats become more sophisticated, focusing on the human element of security supported by the technological aspect—is crucial for creating a resilient, adaptable, and scalable approach to data security.

With 95% of data breaches caused by human error, human-centric data security gives businesses the tools to lock down their sensitive data, without hindering employee productivity and collaboration.

Tune into this discussion-rich Fireside Chat with Rich Vibert, CEO of Metomic, to understand how to approach human-centric data security in your company and the benefits of creating a “human firewall” to thwart potential breaches. Additional agenda items include:

• The security advantages and disadvantages of cloud, SaaS, and GenAI
• Metomic shares their customers’ GenAI usage and data security concerns associated with ChatGPT, CoPilot and others
• How to approach GenAI and SaaS security for your user and employee base

Aviatrix recently published research from its 2024 Secure Cloud Networking Field Report, stating that more than twice as many cloud network outages were caused by firewalls than by cyber-attacks last year.

These escalating outages are strongly driving a trend among enterprises to unite cloud networking and cloud security under one roof, with the goal of bolstering network security across the board.

Join this Fireside Chat, recorded at the RSA Conference, to hear Enterprise Strategy Group Principal Analyst, Network Security & Web Application Security, John Grady and CEO of Aviatrix Doug Merritt discuss how and why cloud security and cloud networks are converging in 2024. Key takeaways include:

• Analysis of Aviatrix’s Distributed Cloud Firewall, which provides uncompromising cloud security by distributing inspection and enforcement, scalability, and agility
• How GenAI will impact cloud operational challenges and the ever-evolving onslaught of cyber-attacks
• Why enterprises are realizing they must consolidate cloud networking & security teams

90% of the world's data generated in the last two years is dispersed in multiple isolated environments. As data propagates, security and IT teams lose visibility into and control over where their data resides, how sensitive it is, and whether it is at risk.

How can security and IT teams fix these gaps and regain visibility and control of this sprawling data? How can CISOs assure leadership and shareholders that the organization’s financial well-being and reputation are not at risk?

Todd Thiemann, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, moderates a panel with accomplished CISO and Cybersecurity industry veteran Renee Guttmann, Paychex CISO Bradley Schaufenbuel and ChargePoint CISO Teza Mukkavilli who will share best practices and recommendations for security and IT leaders on building their data security strategies and shared security models.

Attendees from this session will take away tactics for formulating an actionable security strategy in the context of the shared security model, complying with the new SEC rule (for public companies), and identifying (and remediating) current gaps in their company’s data security strategy.

Participants include:
Renee Guttmann, Accomplished CISO & Cybersecurity Industry Veteran, CXO Forum
Bradley Schaufenbuel, CISO, Paychex
Teza Mukkavilli, CISO, ChargePoint
Todd Thiemann, Senior Analyst, IAM & Data Security, Enterprise Strategy Group

Recent research from Abnormal Security shows that account takeovers (ATOs) are a top concern for security leaders, with 77% ranking it among their three most concerning threats. To boot, 83% of Abnormal survey participants reported that their organization had been directly impacted by an ATO attack within the past year, and nearly 1 in 5 have been impacted more than 10 times.

Given the frequency of these attacks you likely have a few questions:

1. How and why are account takeovers increasing?
2. Which applications are the most vulnerable?
3. And why is it difficult to detect and remediate compromised accounts?

Abnormal Security CISO Mike Britton and Enterprise Strategy Group Principal Analyst Dave Gruber tackle these queries in the following 2024 RSA Conference session.

Register and watch the session for Britton and Gruber’s indispensable takeaways, as well as an explanation of how Abnormal Security’s unified Account Takeover solution detects malicious activity to kick out hijackers across dozens of cloud applications.
