On April 15, 2015, Scalar hosted our Security Roadshow in Toronto where we'll be focused on defence in three key areas - endpoint, application, and network. Led by our team of experts, these quick-fire, interactive sessions will arm you with the knowledge you need to improve your cyber security posture in some of the most common areas of vulnerability.
Defend the Endpoint with Bromium
Bromium is a new security protection tool for the host that relies on task-based virtualization. In this demo we'll look at how Bromium runs and protects the endpoint. We'll invite 0days from the audience and bring our own to show how the system really works. Much like how each virtual server is contained in a hypervisor, with Bromium each individual task on a host is contained in its own task-based virtual container. If you’ve ever looked at the Windows Task Manager, or the output of a Unix ‘ps’ process list, imagine if each group of processes, that makes up the task, was contained in its own hypervisor. That can be 40-50 tasks or more, each isolated in its own little hypervisor with no real access to the host.
Why is task virtualization helpful? By keeping each task in its own hypervisor, Bromium gives you a bottoms-up view of each individual task’s behaviour – without impacting system performance. If each process is contained in its own hypervisor, it’s easy to see when a process begins spawning other activities or creating any unusual traffic. Basically, it can very easily identify anything shifty. This is the most granular level of inspection you can get at a host level – Bromium is there at the very beginning when the virus begins to execute.
Defend the Application with WhiteHat
In this session we will look at a newer approach to application security and penetration testing, which combines persistent and automated testing processes to continuously monitor applications for vulnerabilities, as well as deep inspection of the business logic by trained specialists. This approach exceeds newer PCI 3 requirements and provides ongoing assurance that web application vulnerabilities are quickly detected and tracked to remediation.
We'll walk through the WhiteHat Security client management portal and discuss the WhiteHat methodology that can now be used, by you, to leverage the 150+ application specialists at WhiteHat to build a continuous application assessment process for your company's active web applications and software development teams.
Defend the Network with LogRhythm
As the security landscape changes, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools that detect and investigate security breaches and threats have become increasingly complex to implement, integrate, and support. Inefficient solutions leave organizations slow to defend against and respond to complex attacks.
LogRhythm’s Security Intelligence Platform has removed the complexity from SIEM, while leveraging real-time threat intelligence with behavioural an
