DFLabs to Present Session on What's Holding Back Security Automation at European Cyber Threat Summit

DFLabs, the pioneer in Security Automation and Orchestration, today announced that Oliver Rochford, its Vice President of Security Evangelism and former Gartner (News - Alert) analyst, will present a session at the European Cyber Threat Summit on the actual and perceived impediments to automated security incident response.

WHO: Oliver Rochford is Vice President of Security Evangelism at DFLabs and a former Gartner analyst. He is a recognized expert on threat and vulnerability management as well as cyber security monitoring and operations management. As a Gartner research director he covered threat and vulnerability management, including security operations centers, managed security service providers and SIEM. Oliver has also worked as a security practitioner and white hat hacker for Tenable Network Security®, HP Enterprise Security Services, Verizon Business, Secunia (News - Alert)® (now Flexera Software), Qualys®, and Integralis (now part of NTT Com Security).

WHAT: The security industry has recognized for some time that manual processes are no longer capable of achieving the velocity required to effectively and rapidly respond to cyber threats. Especially now that threat actors are using automation themselves to orchestrate attacks. Security teams want to automate incident response operations, but remain unable to do so for three primary reasons:

1. They can assess the impact of a threat, but not its impact on production
2. They can automate the actions, but not the decisions
3. Their IT Operations counterparts do not trust automation

In this session, Mr. Rochford will address each of these concerns, whether they have merit or not, as well as if and how they can be safely overcome.

WHEN: October 24th at 11:05AM

WHERE: European Cyber Threat Summit, The Helix Conference Centre in Dublin, Ireland
