LogRhythm and Cisco Cybersecurity Experts Discuss How to Detect and Respond to High-Impact Threats in Webinar

BOULDER, Colo., Dec. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Gartner Research, by 2020, 60 percent of enterprise information security budgets will be allocated for rapid detection and response approaches. This is the main theme of an SC Magazine-hosted panel discussion webinar, sponsored by Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) and LogRhythm titled, "Rapid Threat Containment: Detect & Respond Quickly to High-Impact Threats." Organizations require a new security model designed to rapidly detect and neutralize cyber threats that have penetrated the enterprise perimeter or originated from within.

In this webcast, James Carder, CISO of LogRhythm and vice president of LogRhythm Labs, and Scott Pope, senior manager,security ecosystem product management and business development, Cisco Systems, will share some of the latest techniques used by attackers to penetrate networks. The speakers will cover how companies can use next-generation security solutions to detect, respond to and neutralize these threats to reduce the risk of a material breach or cyber incident.

Participants will learn how machine data generated across the network—including contextual identity and access telemetry from the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)—can be leveraged by LogRhythm's security intelligence and analytics platform to provide organizations with highly corroborated risk-based alerts and enable immediate automated response to contain threats by interfacing with Cisco pxGrid to take protective action.  

Key topics in this webcast:

1. Common ways hackers get into the network
2. How threat actors attempt to avoid detection
3. Tips on finding the hacker trail: how to look in the right place
