Gaining a Decisive Advantage Through Terrain Based Cyber Defense

When it comes to cybersecurity, you can only defend what you can see. Organizations continue to suffer breaches, oftentimes because they do not have continuous, real-time visibility of all their critical assets. With more data and applications moving to the cloud, IoT and other emerging technologies, the attack surface continues to expand, giving adversaries more blind spots to leverage.

Watch a webinar with SANS where we examine how to:

• Discover, classify and profile assets and network communications
• Detect threats and decode content in real-time at wire speed
• Hunt for unknown threats via rich, indexable metadata
• Alter your terrain and attack surface with deception to slow down attackers
• By knowing your cyber terrain and increasing the risk of detection and cost to the adversary, you can gain a decisive advantage.

Craig Harber is the Chief Technology Officer at Fidelis Cybersecurity, following a distinguished career at the National Security Agency (NSA), and most recently USCYBERCOM, where he held senior technical roles driving major initiatives in cybersecurity and information assurance, having far reaching strategic impact across the Department of Defense (DOD) and Intelligence Community (IC). During his career at the NSA, Harber earned a reputation as a respected authority on technical strategies to fully integrate and synchronize investments in cybersecurity capabilities. He invented the threat-based cybersecurity strategy known as NIPRNet SIPRNet Cyber Security Architecture Review (NSCSAR) that provided DOD policymakers a framework to objectively measure the expected value of cybersecurity investments. He transformed Active Cyber Defense concepts into capability pilots, commercial product improvements, industry standards, and operational solutions. He also directed the Integrated Global Information Grid (GIG) IA Architecture; raising the importance of IA to all warfighting platforms resulting in multi-billion dollar increase in DOD IA investments.
