Next week on Thursday October 17, we will be talking with Brian Contos (Chief Strategy Officer at Sevco) about SOC efficiency research. You can attend the live webinar with us – Overwhelmed With Alerts? Best Practices for Improving SOC Efficiency and Effectiveness

The key topics for our conversation are:

• Addressing the growth of backlogged alerts
• Trends impacting the SOC over the next 24 months
• Insufficient visibility into current and emerging threats across many systems
• Strategies to drive more proactive approach to security threats

As background, we had a briefing with Sevco in August. There were several highlights for us from that conversation related to making the SOC more efficient:

• Sevco’s emphasis on aggregating data signals from many different sources. Leveraging what exists via collection agents to pull everything together and provide the data for making decisions is a very clever play.
• Sevco’s ability to empower the SOC to make decisions on escalations, policies, and procedures. Integration of everything for a comprehensive inventory means the SOC can minimize time spent doing data collection and triangulation, and instead use what Sevco makes available for such processes.

Hope you can join us next Thursday.

As businesses embark on digital and cloud transformation to accelerate velocity and improve operational efficiencies, security just is not keeping pace. Virtually every business relies on software to keep it running, to keep it competitive. Simultaneously, application vulnerabilities are escalating, and breaches are common C-suite conversations. The current approach to application security relies on multiple security tools deployed at different layers of the software development life cycle, returning volumes of results. This taxes already understaffed application security and SecOps teams, who are challenged to make sense of it all, to address the vulnerabilities and to convey the full risk picture to the business. 

In the webinar, Michael Osterman, Principal Analyst, Osterman Research, will discuss:

• Why the current approaches to security management are no longer adequate as the pace of business accelerates. 
• The key steps to mitigate risk, including identifying, prioritizing and remediating vulnerabilities continuously.
• Why security should be part of the software development process and at all points in the software lifecycle.
• How prioritizing vulnerabilities properly can reduce risk
