The continued growth of cloud technologies and capabilities comes with an equally growing set of questions to answer. Where do we find ourselves from a security perspective? How do we hire, train, and retain the staff needed in the ongoing personnel shortage? Can technology and tools provide the solutions? Is the industry keeping up with the rapid expansion, or are we falling behind? How is cloud security adapting to multi-cloud, zero trust, governance, and overall modernization directives?

In this presentation, Gary and his guests will answer these questions and more as they discuss the evolving, complex state of cloud security.

It seems like almost every webinar, whitepaper, and sales pitch mentions the global cybersecurity personnel shortage at least once. So if we all know the problem is there, how do we solve it? How do you find people with strong pattern recognition, game theory, or data analysis skills? How do you attract those people, onboard them properly, and most importantly retain them? GuidePoint Security's Gary Brickhouse and his guests Brian Orme, Principal, Information Assurance; Kevin Woods, Director, GuidePoint Security University; and Meghan Herman, VP, Human Resources talk about expanding the search for personnel outside the traditional lateral limits to find people who have the skill sets we need, if not the background.

A plan that met liability requirements last year may no longer be up to snuff, and strategies for how to get back on your feet after an incident might fall short in the face of new attacks.

GuidePoint Security’s CISO, Gary Brickhouse, and his guests Mark Lance, VP, DFIR & Threat Intelligence; Ron Brown, Practice Director, Business Resilience; Stephen Brzozowski, Managing Security Consultant talked about how to go back to the fundamentals of your IR program and make sure you’re always prepared for the threats you face.

Changes to breach notification and disclosure guidelines have shifted the requirements for what type of incident requires notification and how long organizations have to report qualifying events.
