Joining David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series for this discussion will be:

  • Johna Till Johnson, CEO and founder, Nemertes
  • Rob Teel, CTO, Oklahoma Department of Commerce

In preparation for our discussion, think about the following:

  • Has credential theft and the abuse of legitimate tools fundamentally broken the EDR model?
  • What’s the biggest blind spot about EDR?
  • If threat actors are leveraging legitimate tools to live off the land, at what point does your EDR become security theater rather than a genuine security solution?
  • What are the warning signs that your SOC team has stopped trusting EDR alerts?
  • How do you justify EDR budget to the board when the breach post-mortem shows the attacker bypassed it in the first five minutes?
  • What’s the most honest conversation you’ve had with an EDR vendor about their detection rates versus their marketing claims?
  • How do you measure EDR effectiveness when “bypassed” and “didn’t generate an alert” look identical in your metrics?
  • What’s the uncomfortable truth about EDR that you know but can’t say in vendor meetings?
  • How do you build a defense strategy when your EDR’s “behavior-based detection” is still learning while the attacker already knows its blind spots?
  • What’s one thing you wish security tool buyers understood about the difference between EDR that detects and EDR that actually stops an attack?
  • At what point does layering more security tools become part of the problem rather than the solution when EDR is the foundation?

It all starts at 1 PM Eastern/10 AM Pacific. At the end of the hour [2 PM Eastern/11 AM Pacific] we’ll switch gears to our meetup where everyone will get a chance to chat face to face.

ALSO…
