During this session, Gigamon CTO Shehzad Merchant and San Diego County Credit Union CISO Scott Maxwell will explore how defenders need to rethink their cyber security strategies with intelligence-based defense that addresses each attack life cycle stage beyond the initial breach. Gigamon and San Diego County Credit Union will share advantageous strategies for defenders to become the dominant player in breach detection and prevention.

Monday August 15, 2016
1:00-1:20 PM PT: Metadata, Big Data and the Coming Tectonic Shift in Security

While yesterday's security model was largely based on prevention of breaches, a clear shift is underway towards the internal detection of breaches combined with containment. This approach provides an opportunity to reverse the asymmetry between the attacker and defender, shifting the advantage towards the latter, and big data solutions are key to this changing landscape. Come hear Gigamon's CTO, Shehzad Merchant, and San Diego County Credit Union's CISO, Scott Maxwell, discuss this approach and more.
