Huntman Security’s Head of Product, Piers Wilson will be a guest speaker on the Thursday, talking about:

Dealing with “Expense in Depth”

The traditional approach to security is that of “defence in depth” – where layers of controls are deployed to handle a variety of threats and attack types.  Each of these controls incurs costs to purchase and operate, delivers outputs in different forms, requires specific skills and demands varying levels of operational effort.  What businesses need is more than just a way to consolidate the outputs.  There is a need to provide two way integration between controls to pass alerts across the layers and allows the gathering of information and context around threats and the necessary diagnostic information to be available in the event of a breach.
