Threat intelligence has become the latest requirement for organizations looking to bolster their security practices. Buy a feed or three, suck them into your SIEM, automate blocking IOCs, and check the box.

Threat intelligence has become the latest requirement for organizations looking to bolster their security practices. Buy a feed or three, suck them into your SIEM, automate blocking IOCs, and check the box. And in many ways, that addresses a sizable chunk of the tactical and operational value of threat intel. However, a growing number of organizations are realizing that threat intel can also inform strategy: how and why we train our users, where we should be investing our security resources, and what kinds of conversations executive leadership should actually be having to avoid becoming the latest cautionary tale used to sell more feeds. Join Proofpoint to learn about the increasingly strategic role of threat intelligence modern businesses.

In an era where digital infrastructure and data integrity are foundational to national security and democratic processes, the significance of robust cybersecurity measures cannot be overstated. As we navigate through a critical election year, the vulnerability of state and federal agencies to cyber threats poses unprecedented challenges. Misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, third-party risks, and misuse of applications across SaaS, IaaS, or privately hosted services have opened avenues for both foreign and domestic adversaries to exploit.

This presentation delves into the intricate landscape of cyber threats facing government agencies and outlines strategic measures to fortify defenses. Featuring Netskope’s Unified CASB (including SSPM, CSPM, and CASB), Cloud Confidence Index (CCI), and the implementation of Continuously Adaptive Access through its Security Service Edge (SSE) and Zero Trust Engine, participants will gain insights into pioneering approaches for safeguarding the nation’s digital frontiers.

In today’s digital landscape, where cyber security is synonymous with data security, safeguarding sensitive information is paramount across all sectors due to the prevalence of cyber threats and the increasing volume of data. To effectively address these challenges, a programmatic approach to data security is essential, encompassing a range of technical, procedural, and human-centric measures. This approach involves implementing a layered defense strategy that includes asking fundamental questions such as “What data do you really have?”, “Who should or shouldn’t have access?”, and “What should they be allowed to do?” Collaboration and information-sharing among organizations are also crucial for enhancing collective resilience against cyber threats. Presented by Jason Rice, Vice President with Forcepoint, this discussion underscores how adopting a programmatic approach to data security enables organizations to mitigate risks, bolster resilience, and maintain trust in an interconnected digital ecosystem where cyber security is fundamentally synonymous with data security.
