CloudSecNext Summit Solutions Track 2023

  • Tuesday, 17 Oct 2023 11:00AM EDT (17 Oct 2023 15:00 UTC)
  • Speaker: AJ Yawn

The NIST cybersecurity framework (CSF) is a well-known and respected framework for building cybersecurity programs. The NIST CSF organizes the framework beginning with functions that organize basic cybersecurity activities at their highest level. These functions are Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover. The NIST CSF functions can help cloud organizations express their management of cybersecurity risk by organizing information, enabling risk management decisions, addressing threats, and improving by learning from previous activities.

While this is a great foundational framework for companies to use to build out their cybersecurity programs and assess risks, it's tough for companies to know what tools to use or where to start. Join this SANS CloudSecNext Summit Solutions Track as we explore various cloud security topics that align with the 5 NIST CSF functions through invited speakers while showcasing capabilities to implement for each function. Presentations will focus on technical case studies and thought leadership using specific examples relevant to helping companies establish a cloud security program that aligns with the NIST CSF and improves the security of their cloud environment.

Join in on the action! Connect with fellow attendees and our event chairs in the SANS SummitInteractive Slack Workspace.

Leveraging CNAPP to Secure Your Cloud Infrastructure

Cloud infrastructure is an attacker’s playground. So how do you reduce your attack surface? With a holistic platform that automates cloud infrastructure security & empowers stakeholders to drive accurate risk prioritization & remediation across complex multicloud environments.

Join Ermetic Sr. Solutions Engineer Thomas Gentsch to find out how to leverage an identity-first Cloud-Native Application Protection (CNAPP) approach for full asset discovery, deep risk analysis, runtime threat detection & compliance reporting. He’ll explain how to use powerful visualization, prioritization & remediation tools to close the cloud expertise gap.

In this session, attendees will learn how to:

  • Leverage an identity-first CNAPP approach for full asset discovery, deep risk analysis, runtime threat detection & compliance reporting

  • Use powerful visualization, prioritization & remediation tools to close the cloud expertise gap

  • Automate cloud infrastructure security

  • Reduce their cloud attack surface

  • Empower stakeholders to drive accurate risk prioritization & remediation across complex multicloud environments

Why Siloed Cloud Security Tooling in the Modern Cloud Environment Isn’t Enough

Learn how siloed point-based cloud tools, such as those that focus on capabilities like CSPM, or CWP or are agentless alone, are unable to keep up with the modern cloud computing environment. Understand how and why adversaries are taking advantage of gaps in security to successfully attack their victims. Finally, learn what steps organizations can take to reverse the adversary advantage and stop cloud breaches.

Rethinking Incident Response for Cloud-driven Enterprises

The field of incident response was created when companies were mostly on-prem and the cyberattack landscape was more contained. Today's cloud and SaaS environments and the vast, dynamic attack surface they create have rendered the old retainer-based approach to IR obsolete. So, what should take its place? Join this talk for insights and recommendations from seasoned IR expert, Mitiga Co-founder and COO, Ariel Parnes.
