The Hidden Insights in Your Pentest Data
How do we compare to other companies in our space? Have we improved our posture compared to 6 months ago? What actual value are we getting out of our pentests? A more thorough look at your pentest data can help answer these questions. Join our speakers as they walk you through metrics, example dashboards, and best practices around pentesting analytics.
12:10 PM – 12:20 PM EDT
Modeling Graphs for Security Analysis
Humans think in terms of resource types, classifications, and the relationships between the resources. In order to answer complex and abstract questions, we must model a system in a similar way to how humans think. Abstracting away details of individual systems allows us to obtain a wider and deeper understanding of our environments that we cannot easily obtain otherwise. In this talk, we will discuss how graphs provide deep insight into systems for security analysis, the complexities around developing uniform models, and open source tooling that JupiterOne has created to maximize visibility and simplify security operations.
12:20 PM – 12:45 PM EDT
Networking Break
