A new wave of machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence technology promises to help IT security operations teams detect cyber threats sooner and respond to them more quickly. But machine learning is used in a wide variety of ways, and not all machine learning-based products work in the same fashion. In this webinar, experts will discuss the ways that machine learning can help in security operations, how it can speed threat analysis, and how to evaluate and choose technologies that will work in your organization.

Forest for the Trees: Creating Order of Operations for Cyber Resilience

Sponsored by: Axonius
Speaker(s): Frederico Hakamine, CISSP, CCSP, Axonius

As security and risk management pros, we hear constantly about the importance of organizational resilience, cyber resilience, and all the things we need to do to get there.

However, some foundational questions get on the way:

  • What are the driving forces pushing for cyber resilience and why now?
  • How cyber resilience connects to other programs, like DR, BCP, organizational resilience, and crisis comms?
  • What are some key gotchas for making cyber resilience a reality and getting out of analysis paralysis?
  • How do I build momentum towards cyber resilience?

In this session, we will see cyber resilience top down and give you critical tools — key principles, frameworks, gotchas — alongside an introduction of visibility for cyber resilience to help your path towards better cyber resilience.

There could be many things that make it easier to survive a cyber incident intact.

In this panel discussion, those who’ve experienced an incident describe what they learned, what they wish they’d done differently, and what tools they recommend as the must-haves of the cyber resilience toolkit.
