The use of user behavior analytics (UBA) is at the forefront of technologies that CISOs are seeking for their security toolkits to help them identify that needle-in-a-haystack.

In this podcast sponsored by Exabeam, IBM's David Cass talks with ADP's V.Jay LaRosa about how UBA provides always on threat hunting to detect and thwart cyber attacks. LaRosa discusses ADP's selection and implementation of the UBA solution and how his team uses it to quickly and effectively identify potential anomalous behavior. He also talks ROI, staffing and why he wishes he had started sooner.

In this conversation, CISO David Cass and CTO Reuven Harrison, discuss the journey to the cloud. They talk about increasing enterprise cloud adoption and hybrid environments. They also discuss the associated demand for automation of network security policy implementation across these hybrid cloud infrastructures.

In this sponsored podcast, you'll hear how it is important to maintain business agility while securing applications in these increasingly diverse and complex networks.

You'll also learn how automation and orchestration help ensure visibility and control across heterogeneous networks.

In this conversation, MIAX Options CSO John Masserini discusses the threat detection and response space with AlienVault President and CEO Barmak Meftah.

An early adopter of threat intelligence, Masserini notes its challenges and asks Meftah what AlienVault is seeing in the market and how threat intelligence is being integrated into companies' security organizations.

Meftah talks about the need to efficiently aggregate information while noting that it is more important to synthesize the information to ensure it is easily consumable and actionable.

He describes AlienVault's crowdsourcing approach and how it is helping SMBs centralize and simplify their threat detection and response. They were speaking in this sponsored podcast at the Black Hat Conference in Las Vegas earlier this month.

In part three of the conversation David Cass, IBM cloud & SaaS global CISO and John Weinschenk, Spirent Communications general manager enterprise and network application discuss the potential hacking of medical devices and automated cars.

In this Spirent-sponsored podcast, Weinschenk explains how they worked with a surgeon to hack a medical device. He also talks about a second hack they conducted on an autonomous car that allowed them to take control of the systems and vehicle itself.

They discuss what needs to be done to secure these Internet of Things (IoT) devices and how manufacturers need to start thinking about how these systems can be exploited.

In this conversation with Security Current podcast host David Cass, Global CISO IBM Cloud & SaaS, David Mahon, CenturyLink Chief Security Officer, discusses what he sees as two of today's critical security issues and how to tackle them.

Mahon points to phishing and ransomware as the most prevalent types of attacks he is seeing in the industry. The two executives talk about the importance of security awareness training and Mahon provides tactical approaches to reduce the likelihood of a successful breach. They also discuss metrics, ROI and best practices for reporting to the board.
