Well, let me first introduce our esteemed panel of guests - repeat guests. Glad to have you both back.

Appearing, again, in - let's see. What position are you playing? Are you playing center or guard this game here, Mike Rothman, with Security - I can't talk.

(CS)2 AI Online Seminar: OT Vulnerability Management w/John Cusimano
Wednesday, July 13th, 2022: 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM EDT
Virtual

Very few organizations have the opportunity to create a cybersecurity program from the ground up. Often, cybersecurity programs in the OT/ICS environment start out as rough translations of the IT program into the OT/ICS environment or initiatives resulting from an audit or incident. Assessing the as-is state of an organization's security posture is usually a combination of a maturity level assessment of their cybersecurity program along with a technical assessment of their implementation.

Best practices and resources to effectively manage and optimize your AWS costs
Tuesday, July 12th, 2022: 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM EDT
Virtual

Please join us virtually on July 12th at 6:00 PM EST where Luis Garcia and Josue Martinez, AWS Solutions Architects, will discuss best practices and available resources to effectively manage and optimize your AWS costs.

As enterprise customers embark on their Cloud adoption journey, one of the challenges they face early on is not having a strong & effective plan around maintaining and controlling costs as they migrate, operate, and innovate in the cloud. Lack of good visibility into cloud spend can have an adverse impact to company's IT budget and timelines. We believe that having an effective strategy around cost optimization, observability, and effective controls will allow a company to shift their focus towards business innovation rather than cloud spend.

Security Boulevard: Effectively Tackling Hardcoded Secrets With A Secrets Management Maturity Model (July 13th)
Wednesday, July 13th, 2022: 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM EDT
Hard coding secrets-usernames, passwords, tokens, API keys and more-is a risky practice that's been around for as long as developers have been writing code. This problem is far from solved. In fact, hardcoded secrets are increasing in prevalence due to modern microservice-based architectures in which comments and services need to authenticate with each other securely and establish authorization mechanisms.

Tackling the problem of hardcoded secrets is not something most organizations do overnight. Doing it right requires a combination of approaches, technology, processes and organizational buy-in. In this webinar, you'll learn how to build an effective secrets management program using a maturity model that helps you assess your current capabilities and plan your next steps.

We will then examine which tools and strategies should be put in place in order to defend against the disruptive and damaging incidents.

Recorded Future: Analyst Spotlight: How to Identify and Prioritize Your Attack Surface (July 14th)
Thursday, July 14th, 2022: 11:00 AM to 12:00 Noon
External attack surface management has proven to be an essential function for organizations of all sizes. Attack surface management helps organizations gain a complete picture of their cyber risk profile from the attacker's point of view, often enabling the discovery of previously unknown assets.

However, knowing what attackers see is only part of the equation. To effectively protect your organization, you also need to understand what attackers are using in the wild. Enter vulnerability intelligence. Vulnerability intelligence identifies which vulnerabilities are actively exploited so that organizations stay one step ahead of adversaries.

Tuesday, July 19th, 2022: 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM Wednesday, July 20th
How Should We Anticipate Unknown Threats? Creating a Proactive Organization for Swift Response

Anticipation. It's one of the U.S. Army's eight principles of sustainment, along with integration, responsiveness, simplicity, economy, survivability, continuity, and improvisation. On the information security battlefield, CISOs and their organizations face growing needs to better anticipate threats. The downside if they don't? Dwell time grows - and with it - exponential damage to revenue, operations, and reputation. Join us as information security and business experts discuss how to define risk tolerance, share anticipatory risk strategies for business, and how CISOs and security leaders can enable them for success in their organizations.

CIO: Mainframe Application Modernization Initiatives in Support of Successful Transformation (July 26th)
Tuesday, July 26th, 2022: 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM EDT
In a 2021 IDC study that analyzed 446 businesses across the globe to measure the efficacy of migrating to cloud versus modernizing existing investments in mainframe systems and applications, the case for the latter won the day.

Replatforming, the researchers found, can be riskier and more costly than modernizing existing investments.
