IAS Seattle Security Conference 2017

Yesterday, I was honored to host one of the panelist discussions at the IAS Security Conference in Seattle. I hosted the panel on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) while my counterpart, Tim Adams, hosted the session on IoT Security. From the audience attendance and engagement, I believe the sessions were well received and educational. As usual, I'm always pleased on the number of questions that come from the audience when it comes to GDPR. Even though we're only a few months away from the go live date for GDPR, there are still customers struggling to understand how the GDPR impacts them and what can be done to be compliant. But I think there is a comfort in knowing that other organizations are also struggling with the same thing that they are. Working together, we get the answers we're looking for and get compliant. A special thanks for the panelist involved in the GDPR discussion: Keith Deighton - Hitachi Systems Security - https://www.linkedin.com/in/keith-deighton-9361901/ Derek Keen...

GDPR Webinar Series – Episode Two – Varonis

Last week I held another session in IAS's ongoing series on the GDPR with our partner Varonis and guest speaker Brian Vecci. Brian is an amazing speaker and did an excellent job going through the GDPR at a high-level and demonstrating how Varonis can help organizations get compliant with certain aspects of the GDPR regulation. Even if GDPR is not a primary focus area for your business, but you are still challenged by managing security permissions and access roles in your organization, then this presentation by Varonis is a must see. Thanks again to Brian and the Varonis team for putting this together.  ...
