Christmas and New Year may be approaching fast, but the ever-changing and unpredictable world of Information Security continues at full speed.
From the 4th-7th of December, we’ll be exhibiting at Black Hat Europe at the ExCel, London.
Attended by cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts from around the world, Black Hat Europe 2017 will bring the best and brightest in the industry together to share information on the latest research, developments and trends.
We’ll be at our at stand (booth 201) throughout the event to answer questions and to share thoughts and ideas with attendees, particularly on the major breaches of recent years and the impending GDPR legislation. With the May 2018 deadline not far away, organizations need to be aware of how to respond to potential data breaches quickly or face hefty fines if they are inadequately prepared.
Some of the major breaches that we’ll be discussing include:
- Equifax, a victim of one of the largest hacks in recent memory. The company took two months to admit that the breach had taken place. Post-GDPR, Equifax would need to reduce their identification and reporting time from two months to just 72 hours.
- Deloitte, where a cyberattack on the company’s Azure-hosted email server’s administration account resulted in confidential documents and emails being stolen. To prepare for GDPR, cloud providers need to prioritize network visibility, something that current cloud software structures often hinder.
- TalkTalk, which announced in 2015 that a breach had taken place, erred on the side of caution by “over-reporting”, later discovering the breach was not as bad as first thought. Under GDPR, more companies may be inclined to over-report, given potential fines of up to 4% of their global revenue for under-reporting. In a post-GDPR world, precision in post-breach analysis and forensics is essential.
We’ll be demonstrating how our EndaceProbe Network Recorders can be integrated with security tools from partners like Cisco, Splunk, Plixer and Palo Alto Networks to accelerate the investigation of security alerts and help companies to identify and respond to intrusions before they can escalate into a major breach.
We’ll also be talking to attendees about why recording their network traffic provides the only truly reliable evidence for conclusively determining the cause and scope of security intrusions and breaches.
