SOC Masterclass

In this session, Tony Velleca, CyberProof CEO, and Karenann Terrell, Technology Advisor, Former Chief Digital and Technology Officer, GSK, explore some of 2023 challenges and how they impact cyber risk: the complexities and associated vulnerabilities of cloud migration, budgetary limitations faced by security leaders due to a global recession, the increased risk of attack due to rising geopolitical tensions, shifts related to technological developments such as generative AI, and more. This session will touch on:  

• Managing the impact of cloud transformation on cyber security during a recession
• Meeting CISO security demands for 2023
• A CISO’s perspective on transforming the SOC
• Handling the growing risk of attacks and their increased complexity

Threat hunting can transform security operations by providing a proactive approach to cybersecurity. It involves proactively searching for potential threats that have evaded existing security measures, such as antivirus, EDR, and DLP products. This helps organizations identify and mitigate threats faster, leading to a more secure environment.  

In this session, we’ll provide practical guidance on how threat hunting can improve the resilience of your organization, including:  

• Why organizations need threat hunting  
• How CyberProof uses malware analysis to provide a holistic approach for enhanced hunting activities? 
• Showcase of a threat hunting and host investigation using Jupyter notebooks for a case known as IceID incident 

The current atmosphere of economic uncertainty means we all need to do more with less. But what are the practical ramifications of this new reality? Let’s explore how CyberProof’s clients are learning to increase efficiencies and adapt to unexpected events quickly, managing the security of the business successfully but with fewer resources at hand – while also giving back time, through automation, so security professionals can focus on the most important aspects of their work.

In this session we will discuss the following topics: 

• How to simplify vendor management when working with multiple technology vendors, which add unwelcome complexity
• When to leverage AI & automation-enabled security operations so that our human analysts can focus more on what matters most
• Why using a unified Security Information & Event Management (SIEM) solution and advanced Managed Detection & Response (MDR) improve operational efficiencies
• What can be done to improve enterprise cyber posture without increasing operational costs 

In this session, Yuval Wollman, CyberProof President and Asaf Kochan, Sentra Co-Founder and President will discuss why CISOs should be paying more attention to geopolitics for cybersecurity. The session will touch on: 

• The increase in cyberattacks due to geopolitical tensions
• The knock-off effect - how state-sponsored cyber warfare impacts private sector organizations that often fall as collateral damage
• What CISOs can do to mitigate threats rooted in geopolitical conflict
• Recent malware developments
• The evolving role of cyber warfare - and how this has been seen in the Russia-Ukraine conflict
