Joseph Blankenship is a leading security industry ­veteran and currently a senior analyst at Forrester serving security and risk professionals.

Blankenship will examine how analytics and automation are combining to transform security operations.

Blankenship will deliver his keynote on Wednesday, October 18 at 4:15pm ET.

The Connect conference brings together Core Security customers, partners, and industry thought leaders to discuss ways to better tackle cybersecurity issues such as access risk, network detection and response, pen-testing and vulnerability management.
