How can a next-generation SIEM, protect cloud- and hybrid-workloads against threats?

With the confinement due to the pandemic, the number of cyberattacks is holding steady at an all time high! With regards to threats we're seeing two trends: a rise in sophistication and a rise in number of attacks. To help empower SecOps teams and our cyber first responders, in their fights against threats and cyberattacks, companies have started leveraging next-gen Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems. Join this session to learn more about how next-gen SIEM, powered by the Cloud and ML can help companies protect themselves against these threats at scale.

How SecOps can help developers build highly secure software

It's getting faster for adversaries to weaponize vulnerabilities. On average it's become 3 days now, as we've seen lately with some vulnerabilities which have come out. There is a significant reduction of cost, if you fix vulnerabilities before they get to production. We all know how it takes downtime to fix things in production, find where there is a vulnerability and there's a lot of complexity in that. Companies are not focused in this area, so they're not looking at security inside of their source code management systems and taking care of it there, but rather things are getting into production. Have you ever asked yourself, who's responsible for fixing these things? It's everybody really. If you look at this in the form of a security responsibility journey, you have your centralized security Teams, that usually have optics into security vulnerabilities, and you have developers that are focused on fixing vulnerabilities, but there is a pretty big divide between what both teams see. That's why in this session I explore how to give visibility on both ends. Showing security operators vulnerabilities in code and telling developers the same thing to help them fix those vulnerabilities.

Demystifying Microsoft Defender for DevOps

Have you ever wondered how to help developers write code more securely? In November 2022, Microsoft released a set of capabilities aimed to help companies shift security further left and ensure that it's part of the software development lifecycle. This set of capabilities is called Defender for DevOps. Defender for DevOps is fresh and catchy. There is a lot of buzz and excitement around Defender for DevOps, but not a lot of knowledge and clarity around what it does, what it doesn't do and how organizations can make actual use of it. Join me in this session, where I'll unveil Microsoft Defender for DevOps and share with you real world examples of how it's used by organizations large and small.

Why Should Security Hygiene Be Your Number One Priority?

Recent cyber-incidents have shown that poor security hygiene is still one of the main challenges organizations face. With attackers tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) continuing to evolve - making sure that cloud workloads are adhering to security bet practices, has never been more important. In this session we're going to cover how organization's can improve their security posture by leveraging a tool in Azure that is able to monitor cloud workloads in Azure (but also on-premise and in AWS and GCP), to detect vulnerabilities, recommend how to harden those workloads and implement security best practices.

How can you improve the security posture of your IaaS- and PaaS-workloads across Microsoft Azure?

As companies continue to move more and more workloads to the Cloud, configuration and security posture of those workloads becomes paramount in protecting them against attacks. Join us and learn more how you can increase the security posture of IaaS- and PaaS- workloads in Microsoft Azure at scale, with the help of ML and automation.
