Behavioral analytics is a relatively new area of security technology designed to illuminate patterns and relationships created by employee actions and business processes. By aggregating and analyzing these patterns across an organization, behavioral analytics software can filter out extraneous data and deliver an accurate and prioritized view of true enterprise threats.
James Robinson, Security Director, Office of the CISO at Accuvant, and Stephan Jou, CTO and Data Scientist at Interset, will discuss how behavioral analytics detects advanced threats including insider attacks and compromised machine or use account based attacks, and how organizations can apply this technology in security programs. Robinson is an expert on the insider and compromised account threat and supports Accuvant’s CISO security strategy program. Jou is an analytics expert previously with IBM who designed Interset’s award-winning analytics engine.
Attendees will learn how to:
• Detect and stop insider attacks while they are happening
• Surface employees and leavers who are stealing corporate data
• Use behavioral analytics to reduce the noise in existing security tools
• Best leverage people, process and technology to address insider threat
• Successfully adopting new technologies in existing security programs
