Importance of Virtual Labs in Cyber Security

Join ACG’s Private Equity Regulatory Taskforce (PERT) and Dennis Johnson, Wipfli LLP Risk Advisory Services Manager, as they divulge pertinent information about the best-in-class Wipfli Cybersecurity Checklist. The Cybersecurity Checklist is an exclusive perk for PERT members. However, all webinar attendees will benefit from an illuminating glimpse into the cybersecurity resource. The Cybersecurity Checklist helps firms to measure cybersecurity functions at their particular institution. It does this by using the PERT’s exclusive Cybersecurity “Principle” and the SEC’s cybersecurity guidance.

According to Gartner, the application layer contains 90% of all vulnerabilities. However, do security experts and developers know what’s happening underneath the application layer? Organizations are aware they cannot afford to let potential system flaws or weaknesses in applications be exploited, but knowing the distinctions between these weaknesses can make all the difference in removing them successfully. During this webinar, Jim Jastrzebski of CA Veracode will discuss how to identify risk factors within your application landscape and share his approach to helping security and development teams address them efficiently. Learn about the methods and solutions attackers typically rely on to perform application vulnerability discovery and compromise, and hear how organizations rely on application security technology and services to gain visibility into their overall landscape—and act upon it in the right way.

Workforce mobility, rapidly changing business models and business partnerships contribute to a trend where businesses must be able to seamlessly enable access for everyone, to every digital service. These services might be public cloud, they might be web applications with or without support for federation standards, they might be solely backend services accessed via APIs, or even legacy applications exposed only via some sort of middleware. However, agility in the digital journey mandates that IT can provide seamless access to all these services while keeping in control and enforcing security. Identity as a Service offering, whether deployed from a public or hybrid cloud, can take a central role, by acting as the common fabric connecting all the users and all the services. Such services include support for adaptive authentication, auditing features, broad federation services, authorization capabilities, and various capabilities.
