Security You Should Know

The velocity of innovation necessitates an agile approach to infrastructure management, which often leads to complexity and, consequently, vulnerabilities. Organizations are in a relentless race to identify and prioritize security gaps, but how can we effectively manage and mitigate these risks?

In this episode, Jay Mar-Tang, field CISO at Pentera, discusses how Pentara blends the efficiency of automation with insightful human judgment to addresses the gaps in traditional security processes while enhancing effectiveness and response times. Jay is joined by our panelists, Keith McCartney, vp, security and IT, DNAnexus, and Nick Espinosa, host of the nationally syndicated Deep Dive Radio Show.

We empower organizations to pinpoint their true security gaps and prioritize based on true exposure, providing a strong defense against cyber threats. Trusted by thousands worldwide, Pentera offers security posture, clarity and precise guidance for remediation.

The sheer volume of security alerts and data being generated by various sources like firewalls, servers, and endpoint devices is daunting. The challenge lies in sifting through this vast amount of information to identify genuine threats without throwing manual effort at it. Traditional security logs merely tell us what happened but do not provide insights on what's happening now. The demand is for more actionable intelligence that focuses on different, more relevant data types rather than just more data.

In this episode, Subo Guha, chief product officer at Stellar Cyber, discusses the company's efforts to turn raw security alerts and IT data into actionable intelligence at scale. Subo is joined by our panelists, Nick Espinosa, host of the nationally syndicated Deep Dive Radio Show, and Steve Zalewski, co-host of Defense in Depth.

Understanding and mitigating insider risk has taken a front seat in organizational security strategies. What once was a niche concern, we’re seeing significant escalation in insider threats, particularly from nation-state actors, with insiders becoming victims of coercion or identity theft.

In this episode, Mohan Koo, president & co-founder, DTEX Systems, explains why understanding human behavior, continuous data tracking, and proactive collaborations are key components in staying ahead of evolving risks. Joining Mohan in this discussion are Janet Heins, CISO, ChenMed, and Bethany De Lude, CISO emeritus.

The fragmentation and vast amount of data generated from enterprise tools create a convoluted landscape for cybersecurity professionals to navigate. This complexity is exacerbated in large companies with dynamic environments, where innovation and growth must be balanced with the ever-present need for security.

In this episode, Piyush Sharrma, CEO and co-founder at Tuskira discusses what the company is doing to unify security tools and validate defenses in this sea of data. Piyush is joined by our panelists, Mike Woods, vp, cybersecurity, GE Vernova, and Keith McCartney, vp, security and IT, DNAnexus.
