Stanford Hospital Security Architect Bryan McDowell and RedSeal CTO Alain Mayer will present a case study on a broad-reaching risk and security program built to respond to an outsourced IT infrastructure, the pressure of external audits, and the growing demand to expand access and improve availability of the network.

The hospital's security team faced a complex challenge — provide strategic guidance to streamline ongoing risk analysis and regulatory compliance, provide actionable fact-based risk metrics to the various IT organizations that deal with security issues, and provide continual insight into overall risk posture. Their problem was further compounded by an outsourced IT relationship, well-established organizational processes, and the daily pressure of responding to urgent events, threats, and vulnerabilities.

This session will review how they improved security and achieved dramatic reduction in IT workload by using RedSeal SRM.

Session Attendees will learn:

• How to develop effective risk reporting mechanisms that communicate the overall risk condition to upper management and to the outsourced network operations team.
• How to develop risk-based insight into the network to find security defects (business assets exposed to Internet and untrusted networks), using repeatable and quantifiable methods.
• How to analyze and put into context an overwhelming amount of security data, to enable smarter security decisions.
