Cloud Expo Silicon Valley: A Risk-Based Approach to Continuous Monitoring

Organizations have become accustomed to accepting the inherent risk associated with point-in-time security assessments. With the emergence of new compliance regulations and the increasing ability to easily change environments through virtualization, we are shifting to a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring. As we move to embrace a security model that requires us to detect and mitigate real-time persistent vulnerabilities and security incidents, it is important to take a risk-based approach to continuous monitoring.

In his session at the 11th International Cloud Expo, Dan Rojas, Director of Strategic Development at Coalfire, will share case studies that demonstrate how organizations prepare to transition to a continuous monitoring program - a program that allows them to deploy security controls that should remain effective over time, regardless of future changes that may occur on the cyber threat landscape.
