Why Elastic Is Making Endpoint Security ‘Free And Open’ – Mike Nichols – PSW #662
Elastic believes that transparency and collaboration must be the new norm for the greater infosec community to succeed in stopping threats at scale.
With many individuals now working from home, new endpoints need to be secured and IT teams are rushing years of planning into a few months to onboard distributed employees and resources – all while managing a global shift that is bringing new adversary behaviors targeting the new remote workforce.
Organizations need to react fast, implement new controls, and do it all while managing existing budgets and staff. Making Elastic endpoint security completely free and open helps level the playing field for organizations that are struggling with the typically high cost and complexity of adopting effective endpoint security.

Vulnerability Rich – Contextually Blind! – Michael Assraf – PSW #662
It s not uncommon to find the traditional vulnerability assessment report buried under the CISO family picture, compliance books, and his latest blood pressure test. These reports highlight the never-ending battle between security and IT about what s more important: risks to servers and endpoints, or keeping the environment up-to-date and secured. There are even problems within the ranks of each unit. Dysfunctional processes, lack of efficient communication, and rudimentary tools put even more pressure on the CIO and CISO. This segment is sponsored by Vicarius.
