Due to the high influx of security incidents and limited resources available, conducting incident response is an enormous task for all organizations, large or small. This necessitates the use of security automation, in which we would require a single centralized platform that connects to all other security technologies in order to effectively address incidents in a short period of time. SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) functions similarly to an orchestrator, but instead of controlling and conducting multiple individuals playing various instruments, SOAR manipulates a variety of tools to produce a more streamlined and fluent incident response process.

The need to communicate, collaborate and do business on a global level has created a proliferation of cloud based applications and services. Email. Cloud Storage. Messaging platforms. CRM. Digital Apps and Services. Organizations continue to add new cloud channels to support their business needs. But with new channels come new security blind spots that must be addressed. In this session we'll discuss:
Cyber attack trends in the collaboration channel ecosystem
The (yet) unsolved challenges of email security – the main channel of targeted attacks
The rising threat of cloud collaboration and the growing risk of content-borne attacks ...And we will walk though three use cases, their challenges and their deployments.

How should we empower developers to embrace the NIST software development practices? Because from here on out, developers need to view themselves as the front lines of defense for the end-consumer. A more secure-aware developer leads to a more-protected consumer. Dr. Wang will offer her perspectives on the above question as well as address: - How companies can set their developers up for security success - The importance of implementing micro-learnings - What should CISOs’ expectations be of developers and developers’ expectations of CISOs after Feb. 6 and beyond? - How corporate boards should be aware of implications of developer’s pervasive development and software security and how they should work together

Considering that history has always had foreign legions, from Lord Byron fighting in Greece (well fighting might be a bit much), to For Whom the Bell Tolls, to the Flying Tigers, to the Layfayette Escadrille, foreign fighters have often entered war zones for a wide variety of reasons. Today, well, you can join up to a virtual cause and fight for whatever cause you are seeking and fight from the comfort of your own gaming chair. No selling your estates and dashing off to attack Lepanto, although you can do that too if you like. In this segment, we discuss, the computer fraud and abuse act, what it means to be a member of the foreign legion, and revisit the whole idea of hacking back as a security technique!
