The perimeter-focused security model of decades past is no longer adequate for securing the modern enterprise. Now, organizations must secure a mobile workforce using a mix of corporate-owned and personal devices to access cloud-based applications and services, often from outside corporate networks — and this trend only accelerated during 2020’s global shift to remote work. Fortunately, a modern access strategy built on zero-trust fundamentals can defend today’s workforce while paving the way to a passwordless future. Attend this session to learn how the zero-trust access model works, reduce your reliance on passwords and risk of password-based attacks, and how to start planning and staging your zero-trust evolution today.

Within a company, a SOC (Security Operations Center) is the focal point of the company’s security operations and network defense, commonly responsible for real-time monitoring, incident response, and proactive prevention of incidences. Many organizations may feel they are already doing these activities without a SOC. But SOCs vary in maturity levels and capabilities—so does your company really need one?

In this presentation, John Headley, Senior Security Engineer at VPLS, reviews the many components of a SOC to ultimately help you answer the question: “do we need our own SOC?” Join this presentation to learn:

• The importance of cybersecurity operations within an organization, including how a typical cybersecurity operations team is organized into a SOC
• What capabilities a SOC can provide to an organization
• What tools the SOC uses
• How to quantitatively self-assess if your organization should build a SOC or outsource this responsibility to a managed security services provider
