Breakout Session

Situational Awareness: Protecting the Unknown

How can you apply security controls to assets that you are unaware of? This presentation will delve into the genesis and evolution of a novel approach to enhancing situational awareness for corporate assets. The central theme revolves around the creation of a semi-quantitative C-Suite report metric, incorporating a custom weighted score, designed to monitor, and optimize the onboarding and offboarding processes of assets across various security tooling. While initially aimed to address gaps in security coverage, this initiative also yielded returns in accurate inventory management through collaboration across multiple IT teams. This presentation is not only a narrative of the journey behind the conception and implementation of this report but also serves as a pragmatic guide. Attendees will gain valuable insights on replicating this model within their organizations, thereby enhancing asset management strategies, and fortifying security posture. Join us to explore this innovative approach to situational awareness and learn how to implement similar strategies in your enterprise.
