THOUGHT LEADERSHIP ROUNDTABLE
The Case for Vulnerability Analysis and Penetration Testing
Sponsor: Core Security Technologies
Moderator: Mark Bouchard

Although vulnerability assessment (VA) is regarded as a fundamental IT security practice, for most organizations it has typically taken somewhat of a back seat to protective, threat-centric defensive measures such as firewalls, anti-virus software, and intrusion detection and prevention systems. The same could also be said for penetration testing. But is this treatment really deserved? Shouldn’t organizations spend at least as much time and effort on practices and solutions that definitively stop threats by removing the weaknesses they prey on in the first place? In this Thought Leadership Roundtable, we’ll explore not only what leading organizations are doing in the areas of vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, but also how they are justifying related investments and balancing them with all of the other “must-haves” of a modern security and compliance program. Specific questions our panel of experts will tackle include:


* Where should today’s organizations focus their VA and penetration testing efforts and what approaches are most effective for justifying corresponding investments? * Why are solutions needed in both of these areas and how should they be woven into the rest of an organization’s security infrastructure and processes?
* What is the state of the art with regard to VA and penetration testing tools and services?
* Which architectures and delivery options make the most sense for VA and penetration testing?

Managing the Risks of Cloud Computing
Moderator: Mark Bouchard

Cloud computing represents a new and highly attractive paradigm for delivering IT services. With cloud computing, ordinary businesses are able to deploy highly scalable and responsive Web applications and services – just like those from Amazon, Google, and others – without having to first obtain the requisite expertise and then build all of the underlying infrastructure themselves. They also benefit from quicker startup times, better agility, improved economies of scale, and greater investment protection. But what about the security risks? With cloud computing, application code and sensitive data are moved outside of the corporate boundary and are no longer protected by an organization’s perimeter and datacenter-based defenses. In this Thought Leadership Roundtable, we’ll explore the information security challenges presented by cloud computing and discuss what leading organizations are doing to address them. Specific questions our panel of experts will tackle include:

* What needs to be done to ensure the security of sensitive data that is migrated to the cloud?
* What impact does cloud computing have on IT security and regulatory compliance?
* What technology solutions are available and/or emerging to help organization’s ensure the security of the cloud-based elements of their computing environment?
* What are the top three security related items to consider when selecting a cloud services provider?

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP ROUNDTABLE
Best Practices in Vulnerability Management
Moderator: Mark Bouchard

Identifying and eliminating vulnerabilities from one’s computing infrastructure is arguably the most effective way to prevent it from being successfully attacked. Accordingly, today’s organizations should be making considerable investments in this area – at least commensurate with those made for threat-focused, protection-oriented countermeasures such as firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, and web security gateways. But exactly how should enterprises allot their precious resources across different disciplines, including patch management, vulnerability assessment, application testing, configuration management, and penetration testing? And what technology solutions are available to help? In this Thought Leadership Roundtable, we’ll take a deep dive into the vulnerability management waters in order to filter out the practices, approaches, tools, and technologies leading organizations use to help ensure their computing infrastructure remains free of inherent weaknesses. Representative questions our panel of experts will address include:

* What elements (i.e., functional and technical capabilities) should a comprehensive vulnerability management solution support?
* What are some of the greatest pitfalls and “worst practices” that IT security departments need to avoid when it comes to architecting a vulnerability management solution?
* What are the best opportunities for integration, both among different vulnerability management tools as well as with other elements of an organization’s defenses?
* How should today’s organizations expect vulnerability management solutions to evolve in the coming years?
