Presentation Title

Presentation: Advanced Security Analytics: NetFlow for Incident Response

Presentation Overview

Your organization is valuable and the cyber criminals know it. Malicious actors constantly make attempts to exploit users for privileged access to your enterprise network. The biggest challenge is revealing network behavior using disparate data to identify when threats breach traditional security architecture. In this session, learn about security practices that reduce the complexity involved with advanced threat protection. Leverage the network as a sensor to manage the entire attack continuum. Find out how deeper insight into the extended network is gained by exporting Cisco AVC flows. Visualize and verify traffic policy and security of your IWAN deployment. Acquire insight into DNS communications and the Cisco ASA with FirePOWER that allows the security team to maintain continuous control and visibility during a targeted attack. Find out how to decrease time to network remediation with Cisco ISE, Splunk, Elasticsearch, and ArcSight integration.
