Managing storage continues to be complex, and often expensive. Something needs to change, and it certainly won’t be a dramatic increase in staffing. Fortunately, object storage is the answer. By eliminating the use of legacy RAID, object storage, can be the foundation for a scale-out converged storage solution that solves both data protection and data storage challenges. Want to recover a multi-TB VM in less than a second? No problem. Want to protect files from ransomware? No problem. Need an enterprise file serving, archiving, or virtual server storage solution? No Problem. Attend this session to learn how object storage is changing the landscape for IT admin and the technology of the future.

Many organizations want to threat hunt, but don’t know where to begin, how to measure success, or how to scale an effective program. The bar to successful hunting can appear intimidatingly high, reachable by only the most sophisticated, well-staffed SOCs. But the reality is that existing staff–with the right data and some directional guidance–can begin hunting today and start making immediate security contributions to your organization.
Join Corelight for this session to learn about the threat hunting maturity model, obtain guidance on best practices, and see examples of threat hunting scenarios. We’ll also discuss how to assemble the systems, data, people and processes your organization needs to start hunting.
