The feedback on CSI's recent Securing Your Endpoints. Securing Your Network discussion has been extremely positive. We were happy to share the information to help keep your endpoints and networks safe. Despite what some others might imply, there is no magic piece of software or single vendor with a single product that will allow you to check endpoint security off the list. Everything can be defeated somehow. The best security is one comprised of layers of security with different products - some automated, some with skilled people - looking at the tools and, if all else fails, some based upon the behaviors.
The keys are to deny the bad guys a foothold, deny lateral movement to anything that might have gotten through, and finally detecting the behaviors that the bad guys will use like touching certain components on a workstation or phoning home to announce the malware has established a beachhead to launch an attack.
We'd like to build on those foundational principles of layered protection by sharing the best practices of government and industry professionals to fill in the holes and share their opinions about what should come next.
With that in mind, we are pleased to present CSI's 4th Annual CyberSecurity Event on Tuesday, December 10th from 9 am to 2 pm.
Here's the preliminary list of speakers who have agreed to present:
- Steven Gold will talk about free CyberSecurity resources for K-12 from the Center for Internet Security (CIS):
