Security Automation Architect's Guide Now Available

Security automation enables network and security systems to provide dynamic, responsive protection with automated handling of routine security tasks, allowing administrators to focus on critical areas such as threat analysis and policy development.  This streamlined approach to enterprise security improves efficiency and reduces cost, and enhances an organization's ability to monitor and respond to increasing and targeted network attacks.

 

This Architect's Guide shows enterprise architects how they can design and deploy successful automated security solutions based on the open Trusted Network Connect (TNC) architecture and standards along with interoperable compliance establishment through Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP).

TCG Attends RSA Conference 2013

 

TCG hosted its annual seminar, Trusted Computing: Billions of Endpoints Secured in 10 Years, on Monday, February 25, 2013, as part of the RSA Conference USA 2013.  Over 500 were in attendance and the room was standing room only for much of the day. 

 

The seminar included a keynote from the CISO of Los Angeles, Robert Pittman, and three panel sessions.  The keynote addressed the top 10 security challenges of his sprawling organization and the important role of industry standards.  The first panel session, led by Paul Roberts of Security Ledger, focused on APTs and recent NIST directives related to the hardware root of trust with panelists from Dell, DMI, Microsoft and Wave Systems.  The second panel session, let by Phil Schacter of Gartner, focused on network security, critical infrastructure and BYOD with panelists from The Boeing Company, NSA and NIST.  The third panel session, led by Eric Ogren of The Ogren Group, focused on protecting content from unauthrorized access with panelists from Barnabas Health, Lenovo, NSA, and Samsung.

 

The panels were interspersed with demonstrations hosted by TCG member companies, including Absolute Software, Asguard Networks, Fraunhofer SIT, Hirsch Identive, Infoblox, Juniper Networks, Lumeta, Microsoft, MITRE, NCP Engineering, Nokia, Samsung, Wave Systems and WInMagic.
