Leveraging Analytics for More Effective Security Performance

It has become an established fact that the human factor is the most important element to secure in any organization if security is to be maintained. This case study will take real-life examples (with no names used!) and examine some actual security incidents caused by human error and elaborate on the root cause and prevention tips resulting from these events.

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.

Organizations face tremendous challenges when trying to keep pace with the volume of cyber incidents they are seeing today. Information security leaders are looking to the benefits of security orchestration and automation to relieve the strain on their incident response teams. While the promise of orchestration is great, achieving success requires great care in choosing which processes and investigative actions to automate.
