Security Automation and Orchestration
With ever-increasing rate of security breaches and incidents, massive shortage of security professionals, endless assembly line of point products, static product controls, Cyber Security response teams are overwhelmed and simply unable to respond to these security incidents in time, resulting in increasing damages and costs. In this talk Sourabh, Co-Founder and CTO of Phantom Cyber, will talk about how they are undertaking this challenge and have developed a rather unique, open and extensible security automation and orchestration platform to enable cyber security response teams to automate and address many of these challenges. Given the complexity of IT infrastructure and complexity of the attacks, automating response plans has its own challenges. Not to mention the inherent fear of automation that impacts the entire IT infrastructure of companies. Sourabh will present the current state of the industry (users and vendors) with regards to security automation. He will present a few use cases that the platform is being by their beta customers. The talk includes a short demo of the platform. Sourabh will then discuss the real world challenges, related upcoming standards, research opportunities and potential solutions.
