Speaker: Anthony Bettini
Responding to threats in the enterprise is a challenging problem. But when the enterprise goes global and perpetually expands its reach, the challenges take on a new dimension. The impact of globalization on IT security is rarely discussed at the threat level, but on the ground, an all too real problem. Pieces of this may be well understood problems, such as adhering to local regulations and technical standards in a given country or region of the world. However, other pieces may not be so clear, such as software that is only prevalent in one particular country being subject to targeted attacks and 0day vulnerabilities. In this talk, we will go over real world examples of locale-specific impacts to traditional IT security challenges, particularly in the realms of: vulnerabilities, 0days, compliance, threat monitoring and prioritization, and the impact various global CERT organizations play.
