Shifting "Left" with Cybersecurity

Traditional approaches to cybersecurity have often been "after the fact." Whether we are building products, software or infrastructure, cybersecurity tends to be an afterthought and not necessarily part of the development process from the outset.  This session will centre around how, to be effectively cyber resilient, security should be considered in the early stages and be one of the essential primary ingredients for any new development process. BlackBerry has a long history of building security in to their products and infrastructure from the ground up, which has resulted from the enviable position of never having been breached.

The Need for Speed: How Can Leaders Accelerate the Velocity of Innovation & Improve Business Agility?

With companies and governments demanding faster innovation to meet the pressures of customers and citizens respectively, most Canadian enterprises have embarked on their own journeys into this new rapidly changing world of speed. By enterprises investing in new technologies, re-thinking organizational and team structures, re-conceptualizing the innovation process with DevOps and Agile practices, and pursuing new agile delivery models delivered by public cloud, a number of patterns of both success and failure have emerged. Join Red Hat Canada's Chief Strategist, Michael Cardy, as he shares the insights into these patterns and how, combined with research, have lead to the formulation of Red Hat's position on the most successful approach to accelerating innovation.

Say Goodbye to Vulnerability Backlogs: Using RASP to Reclaim Control and Reduce Risk

Knowing is half the battle when it comes to protecting applications and their sensitive data. 

Application security testing tools scan your code to reveal the long lists of known vulnerabilities, but not all are remediated before the next release-even with mature secure software development practices. Enterprises resort to using theoretical levels of criticality - not actual risks-to prioritize which accumulated vulnerabilities to fix and in what order. Many vulnerabilities often undergo an exception process and make it into protocol. 

A real-time, embedded solution like Prevoty's runtime application self-protection (RASP) changes the game completely. Prevoty places an automated security mechanism at the front of the line - directly in the application's operating environment - to immediately lower risk and act as a compensating control at runtime. 

As such, Prevoty-enabled enterprises see 98%+ of their known vulnerabilities mitigated instantly, reducing backlogs and expediting an otherwise cumbersome release process. Prevoty RASP detects live production attacks and generates real-time security event longs and reports. Security teams can then correlate pre-production vulnerability scan results with Prevoty's runtime attack logs to go back, remediate based on actual risk - not just hypothetical threats. The result? Improved forensics.
