The Power of VSOC to Transform SECOPS During the Pandemic and Beyond
Preview Available
Identification: SS22DC09
SOCs are already used in many large enterprises to monitor IT and OT networks. Now, as a result of the pandemic and a shift towards remote and hybrid workforce models, these organizations must adapt to both the ever-changing threat environment and the demands of the people tasked to protect them – all while improving our ability to detect and respond to threat.
Integrating VSOC services into a larger cyber program to achieve efficiency, quality of service, and cyber program optimization equal to or better than a traditional on premise service model can be difficult. Questions like “build vs. buy”; what to consider when selecting a VSOC vendor and hybrid vs. dedicated will all need to be addressed. This session will cover those and other topics such as staffing models, technology and toolsets and much more.

Identification: SS22DC08
High-profile individuals in both the public and private sector are frequent targets of threat actors aiming to exfiltrate data, commit fraud, take over their accounts, disseminate false information, impersonate or extort them. Such forms of malicious exploitation often lead to initial compromise, facilitate costly ransomware attacks, and result in operational, financial, and reputational losses.
This session will highlight the benefits of an intelligence-based security program to reduce executive exposure - and therefore risk - in a world of rapidly evolving threats. We’ll also examine the process of building or maturing an Intelligence program that empowers an agency to move from a reactive to a proactive security posture and stay ahead of the enemy.
