From Chaos To Control Transforming Security Management Through Visibility and Automation

In an era of increasingly sophisticated and pervasive cyber threats, security management can often feel chaotic and overwhelming. This masterclass delves into how organizations can regain control of their security posture through enhanced visibility and automation. Attendees will discover the essential importance of proactive and real-time threat detection. They will also learn about the necessity of comprehensive visibility across all assets for identifying vulnerabilities and reducing risks, particularly through effective network modeling and developing a digital twin of their security environment.

The session will highlight best practices for implementing automation tools that streamline security operations, improve incident response times, and enhance overall resilience. Special emphasis will be placed on identifying missing next hops, which can create blind spots in security monitoring and leave organizations vulnerable. Attendees will also learn how Continuous Threat and Exposure Management (CTEM) strategies help integrate visibility and automation to proactively address potential threats. We’ll also discuss the use of generative AI to enhance security operations by generating actionable insights and automating repetitive tasks.

Join us for an engaging discussion that will empower you to transform your security management from reactive to proactive, fostering a culture of security that is agile, informed, and ready to face the challenges of the digital landscape.
