The Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) market is at a critical juncture, filled with disruptions necessitating a reevaluation of current SIEM solutions. Enterprises must question whether their SIEM can keep pace with emerging threats and evolving organizational needs. This guide serves as a roadmap, ensuring your security posture is exceptional rather than merely adequate. Recognizing triggers for a closer SIEM examination is the first step, with recent security incidents exposing vulnerabilities that can't be ignored. Regulatory changes require robust measures to avoid penalties, while growth initiatives demand adaptable security solutions. Budget cycles offer opportunities to invest in advanced security, rather than sticking with outdated systems. Additionally, industry mergers and acquisitions force a reassessment of whether your SIEM can withstand market consolidation and still provide robust protection.

Key takeaways:
1. Why now is the right time to evaluate the efficacy of your SIEM in supercharging security practices across the organization?
2. How to identify critical SIEM capabilities and score the criteria 
3. What are the next steps in your SIEM journey you can take to safeguard your organization’s future

When and Why to Reevaluate Your SIEM

Organizations are overwhelmed with the influx of application vulnerabilities (CVE's) and indicators of compromise, yet many lack the necessary resources to thoroughly investigate even a fraction of these alerts. It’s imperative that organizations optimize their approach to mitigating emerging threats from their third parties. 

In this webinar, you’ll learn:  
·     Strategies to prioritize your third-party portfolio for further investigation for an emerging threat 
·     How to identify the key risk factors crucial for prioritization, empowering participants to make informed decisions swiftly 
·     The art of strategic vendor communication
·     Build and maintain stakeholder and business leader confidence

Mitigating Emerging Threats from Third Parties

Due to the popularity and benefits of the cloud, many organizations are moving to the cloud without a well-thought-out strategy, which increases the organization's risk profile. The primary goal of this presentation is to provide attendees with a roadmap for evaluating their Cloud Service Providers and making their organizations more secure. Additionally, we will discuss the impact of security and privacy in the cloud, which auditors should consider.

The reliance of development teams on open-source components is undeniable. It helps organizations get their software solutions to market sooner and free their engineers to focus on building intellectual property instead of “plumbing”.
Open-source projects are also an attack vector when bad actors compromise the open-source by injecting malware or developers unknowingly include releases with exploitable vulnerabilities.
Join Dave Roche, Director of Software Trust at DigiCert, as he shares the 5 best habits for securing your software supply chain from vulnerable or malicious open-source code. Gain valuable insights into: 
• Novel software supply chain attacks
• Getting visibility of the components in your software
• Spotting and prioritizing vulnerabilities
• Taming code signing without hampering innovation

With more than a dozen privacy laws in effect or coming into effect, digital advertising is increasingly becoming a regulated industry. While proper notice, fulfillment of opt-out rights, and post-transaction consumer requests (e.g., deletion) have dominated the enforcement and compliance landscape, attention is increasingly being paid to one of the fundamental changes in state privacy laws – their inclusion of requirements around vendor diligence and accountability. 

What does this mean for SSPs, DSPS, and the rest of the digital advertising ecosystem? We will examine how personal data traverses the digital advertising ecosystem, why the privacy diligence and accountability requirements under state privacy laws are paramount in light of those data flows,  changes in business practices needed to achieve compliance, and how technology solutions will need to evolve to meet these requirements.

Privacy Compliance and the Importance of Due Diligence: Redefining Privacy

It’s all about the data.  Whether it's Data Subject Request or a Data Breach; the amount of effort, cost and impact on a company's reputation depend on the quantity and the type of personal data involved.  The more personal data, the larger the consequences.  This presentation is a practical approach to privacy and data protection that includes strategies to help you stay compliant with the evolving privacy regulations.  No legalese or technical jargon, just a talk about applicability.

Data Privacy Framework Program

In our presentation, we'll compare the European Union's GDPR with Caribbean data privacy laws, highlighting how both aim to protect personal data but differ in scope, compliance, and enforcement. We'll discuss the unique challenges Caribbean businesses face in meeting GDPR standards, due to different regulatory environments and penalties. The focus will be on how these differences present opportunities for the Caribbean to strengthen its data privacy frameworks, fostering trust and enabling international partnerships in a data-centric world.

Similarities and differences between GDPR and Data Privacy in the Caribbean

As with any piece of enterprise software, choosing and buying a PAM solution is a fraction of the battle. Many installations fail or never get rolled out fully due to deployment complications and competing priorities.

Platform consolidation — the strategic integration of multiple tools and infrastructure into a single, cohesive platform — is a strategic priority for security and IT leaders, driven by increasing tech stack complexity and budgetary pressure. 
 
Unfortunately, platform consolidation projects often struggle to meet expectations due to gaps between what platforms can do and what it should do. As a result, IT and Security team productivity slows even further, and business initiatives attempting to connect and secure the organization’s technology stack fall short.  
 
IDC analyst and guest speaker Ghassan Abdo has helped dozens of organizations navigate these situations. In this webinar, he’ll discuss: 
• 3-5 common roadblocks in platform consolidation efforts
• Real-world examples of organizations that overcame those challenges
• Actionable strategies you can bring into your own organization
