What happens when you lack visibility into your network environment and are unable to prioritize your risk management efforts? The result: Plenty of surprises. And very few surprises in risk management are good news. Join this free webcast and get a front row seat on how an industry leading IT provider tackled this critical issue and wrestled it to the ground.
Through a real-life case study learn how Cisco’s IT Security Audit team began their quest toward “continuous network monitoring” where they discovered some potential surprises, high risk vulnerabilities that otherwise would have gone undetected. This event will outline how they identified security gaps along with Lessons Learned from two years of hands-on experience implementing a plan to move from “infrequent” to “daily” to “continuous” monitoring the complex corporate global network.
You will learn how to approach the herculean task of automating security assessments for over 25,000 hosts, 800+ network devices, 40+ data centers with 15 PoPs. The material to be covered will include how to: visualize a complete global environment; understand relationships and dependencies; uncover major problems and compliance issues before they are exploited by others; use new technology to identify zones and break a global environment into manageable pieces and automate configuration analysis.
What You Will Learn:
- What is new in automation and how it changes the traditional approach to assessment
- Top 10 Lessons Learned from the school of hard knocks
- The logical process of implementing continuous assessments (monitoring).
Speakers:
- Doug Dexter, Risk Management Program Manager, IT Audit Team Leader, Cisco
