"Building a Security, Risk, and Compliance Program from the Ground UP" webcast Featured Speaker: John Linkous, Security & Compliance Evangelist at eIQnetworks.
There is no way around it. With the number of compliance mandates and hacker threats continuing to increase at an almost exponential rate, organizations are finding they have no choice but to build holistic, enterprise-wide security and compliance practices. Now that you know you need to, how do you know where to start? How do you create the business processes to make these security and compliance efforts happen?
The gap between recognizing the problem and developing a comprehensive – and effective - solution to address it can be daunting; across the entire spectrum of public and private industry, organizations continue to experience difficulty integrating security, risk and compliance management. Often, these organizations will have the tools to implement security and compliance – from vulnerability scanners and SIEM point solutions, to network management tools – but having the tools doesn’t mean they are using them effectively.
During this webcast, John Linkous will evaluate one approach that many organizations have used to build an effective security, risk and compliance business process. By integrating the right combination of people, processes and technology, we will demonstrate how organizations can establish a comprehensive program that both holistically addresses security and compliance, and has the flexibility to evolve as the organization’s ever-changing set of risks, threats, and compliance needs change.

"Taming Compliance: One for all, and all for one!" SC Magazine Webcast

With bad behavior comes more regulation and that means regulatory oversight will continue to increase and put more pressure on overworked security and compliance groups. Whether it's PCI, HIPAA (and successors), NERC/FERC, or FISMA, organizations of all shapes and sizes tend to have to deal with not one, but many regulatory hierarchies and multiple audits. In this "10 Minutes On" SC Magazine webcast, Mike Rothman, SVP of Strategy for eIQnetworks will discuss an approach to provide leverage in both security and compliance operations.

"10 Reasons Why Log Data Is Not Enough" webcast Featured Speaker: Mike Rothman, Senior Vice President of Strategy at eIQnetworks.
Log Management is required by almost every regulatory hierarchy and is clearly a security and compliance management best practice. The real question is whether you can rely SOLELY on log data to keep your organization secure.
If you lock one door in your house are you protected from burglars? If you have a smoke detector are you sure you don't have a carbon monoxide issue? You need layers of protection to defend against today's complex and innovative attacks. Those layers involve analyzing more than just log files.
During this webcast, Mike Rothman, Senior Vice President of Strategy at eIQnetworks, shares with you 10 reasons why log data is not enough and provides you with tips on how to strengthen your security and compliance management program. Register

"SIEM Thought Leadership Roundtable" WhiteHatWorld Podcast

Most IT security departments are swamped. On one hand they’re contending with a highly dynamic threat landscape and an ever-expanding technology portfolio that requires protection. At the same time they’re doing what they can to help fulfill a burgeoning list of audit and regulatory compliance requirements. And on their third hand … if only that were possible! Fortunately, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) – which has long offered IT Security the prospect of re-gaining control – is possible. In this Thought Leadership Roundtable, we’ll get to the bottom of what makes SIEM different from other security management solutions as well as what level of investment is required to make it work.

"Lean times: doing more with less using security and compliance automation" webcast
Featured speaker: John Linkous, Security & Compliance Evangelist, eIQnetworks, Inc.
As I.T., security, and audit departments continue to deal with a growing onslaught of security risks and regulations, the message from management in these times of economic uncertainty could not be worse: "do more with less". As belt-tightening continues for I.T., so does the need to gain increased visibility into the inner workings of security data, from system events, to vulnerabilities, to system configuration and performance metrics. Moreover, the burgeoning landscape of regulations, best practices, and standards pushes organizations even harder by requiring them to align this myriad of security data - often from many different point solutions - with specific compliance requirements. How do organizations continue to balance the need to meet both security and compliance requirements, while dealing with flat or even declining budgets?
One solution to this problem is security and compliance automation. By consolidating a broad range of security and compliance data from a myriad of point solutions across the enterprise into a single "pane of glass", organizations can gain deep visibility into the inter-relationships between events, system configurations, performance, and other security-related data that is required to both effectively manage security, and ensure compliance with regulations, best practices, and standards. Often, this consolidation means that organizations can eliminate some single-purpose point solutions, freeing up critical budget dollars. Moreover, by automating the process of collecting and aggregating security data from across the enterprise, security and compliance automation lowers the bar on personnel costs: employees no longer need to manually correlate data across multiple point solutions, and can spend less time researching, and more time actually addressing security and compliance operations - meeting management's goal of "do more with less."
