[1 CPE] Modernizing the SOC: Transforming your Security Operations

  Presented by JR Silverthorne, Partner Solutions Consultant, West • Palo Alto Networks

So many industry players want to speak to and about tool consolidation and a platformization play in the cybersecurity space. We want to examine the classical SOC model and turn it on its head and reveal how a suite of capabilities enable root cause analysis, risk context, correlation, and automation across an open platform that accepts the widest and largest variety of data sources from the endpoint to the data center to the cloud. Our approach –– Xtended Security Intelligence Automation Management.

If your interest is in achieving the lowest MTTR and MTTD, if you want to detect security incidents and remediate faster, then your path forward has to unify workflows, utilize embedded intelligence, and provide automated responses. Let us show you how Palo Alto with 20,000 employees operates their SOC with just 15 people.

Brian has worked to architect, attack, integrate, and secure networks and applications for emergency notification systems, government environments, healthcare organizations, transactional and e-commerce, including multi-tier cloud-based solutions, and has had a focus on web, database, and network and infrastructure security for the past 13 years at Imperva.

[1 CPE] Architecture Matters: What You Need to Know When Evaluating SASE & SSE Solutions

  Presented by Rehman Khan, Director, Cyber Architecture & Engineering • Netskope

SASE and SSE are more than just buzzwords; they represent the future of network and security. But before you entrust all your critical traffic to these cloud solutions, a deeper dive into their underlying architecture is essential. Not all clouds are created equal, and understanding the nuances of these solutions, which are built on the global internet, is paramount for success.

This session will empower attendees with the crucial architectural questions to ask your SASE/SSE providers, ensuring you make an informed decision. We’ll explore:

  • Public vs. Private Cloud: What are the implications for your data and performance?
  • Server Locations: Where are security services hosted, and why does proximity matter?
  • Network Architecture: How is the provider’s network built and managed for optimal reliability and speed?
  • Capacity Management: How do they scale to meet your evolving demands and ensure consistent performance?
  • Performance Measurement: What metrics should you track, and how do providers guarantee their SLAs?
  • Incident Response: What happens when something breaks, and how quickly can services be restored?

Arm yourself with the right questions to build a secure and high-performing SASE/SSE future.
