EVENT MENU

OVERVIEW

We invite you to join Red Hat and your peers for an evening discussion focused around  creating a comprehensive security risk management program that effectively mitigates security risks across applications and application platforms.

Security is a leading issue for most organizations. The cost of a data breach is rising, known cyberattacks are becoming more frequent, security expertise is in short supply, and the demand for connectedness - to deliver and act on even the most sensitive of data across all devices, and all the way to the network edge - is unyielding.

Striking the balance between security and innovation has gotten more difficult as pressure to improve security increases from all sides and the impact of a security breach reverberates up and down the supply chain.

In this peer to peer setting we will explore how:

  • Automated security controls help to mitigate your application and application platform risk

  • Open source  helps with  transparency and clear communication about newly discovered vulnerabilities and how to get fixes for them

  • A modern, holistic approach that incorporates advanced security capabilities at all levels of the IT stack are needed
