It’s not a matter of “if” but “when” organizations are breached. That’s the premise that Federal agencies operate under and it’s one that would be prudent to follow. With an Assumption of Compromise, it’s assumed that threat actors are currently living off the land (LTOL) using applications and protocols already available in workloads. Why LTOL and similar attacks can go unnoticed is because of a critical gap in traditional logging that is often overlooked. Learn why relying on logs from a firewall or router as the single source of truth is not enough. In this session, we will take a broad look at logging from the perspective of government threat hunting, and how it can be greatly enhanced with network-derived intelligence to make it far more resilient and harder for bad actors to defeat.

The “Assumption of Compromise”: Government Agency Best Practices

The need to inspect encrypted traffic is critical given the prevalence of encrypted malware lurking in our midst.

From an operational perspective, using an agentless solution such as mirroring for virtual traffic access seems ideal. Nothing to install, easier to manage, less expensive etc. In fact, the opposite is true. Agent-based traffic access solutions are easier to configure, yield higher performance, and usually cost less than their agentless counterparts.  In this session, we’ll expose the myths and misconceptions about using an agent for traffic access. We’ll also discuss why agents for traffic access are different than traditional tool agents and explain why they might be the best option for your network.

To Tap or Not to Tap and When is an Agent Not an Agent

Cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP are modern marvels with immense scalability and flexibility. These benefits can also come with sticker shock when your cloud environment is not optimized.  For example, complex tapping and mirroring architectures often lead to unnecessarily high billing costs, especially for packet-based security tools like Cloud Network Detection & Response. In this session, we’ll examine alternative designs and solutions to the default monitoring options from public cloud platforms that can save you a bundle in infrastructure costs.

How to Slash Cloud Monitoring Costs

According to recent findings by Enterprise Strategy Group, 83 percent of organizations say scanning encrypted traffic for threats is a significant or notable concern. Meanwhile, only 34 percent of organizations say they have visibility into all the encrypted traffic in their organization, leaving them vulnerable to threats. It’s no wonder that 69 percent of organizations say they have fallen victim to an attack that used encryption to avoid detection.

However, many of the perceived challenges that organizations face regarding decryption - like complexity, performance, and cost - can be addressed through centralized decryption. In this webcast, you’ll learn how you can enable end-to-end visibility for hybrid cloud by decrypting traffic centrally and distributing those packets to all the security tools in the environment that require them for inspection.

Join us to discover how you can ensure visibility across encrypted traffic and mitigate security risks.

How to Ensure Visibility Across Encrypted Traffic

According to the 2024 Gigamon Hybrid Cloud Security Report, fewer than half of over 1,000 global IT and security leaders surveyed claim to have lateral East-West visibility across their hybrid cloud infrastructure, which includes container-to-container communications. Threat actors know this and are actively exploiting this oversight, as evidenced by recent high-profile attacks which employed lateral movement to evade detection. In this session, we will cover how you can gain simple and scalable deep observability into container environments, at both packet and metadata levels.  You’ll also learn best practices based on recent customer deployment use cases on how to acquire traffic from any container along with accessing and aggregating container traffic from multiple cloud platforms.
