Workshop: : New Benchmarks for Endpoint / Network Security Integration “We’ve treated endpoint security as a PC provisioning and IT operations task for too long. By doing so, we aren’t using our endpoint security tools correctly. A few years ago, the endpoint security market was a cozy little oligopoly that was dominated by five vendors: Kaspersky, McAfee, Sophos, Symantec, and Trend Micro. Fast forward to 2014 and things have changed. Network security vendors like Cisco (Sourcefire), FireEye, and Palo Alto Networks are jumping into the endpoint security pool. An army of others like Bit9, Bromium, Cylance, Digital Guardian (Verdasys), Guidance Software, IBM, Invincea, Malwarebytes, Raytheon, RSA and Triumfant are all offering some type of endpoint security technology.” – Jon Oltsik, Network World Workshop Problem Statement: Independent security testing labs need to adapt to the increasing integration of endpoint protection and network security. Better metrics and benchmark testing methodologies are needed to account for radical changes in enterprise security architecture and the ways in which endpoints are protected.

Depart for Tour of " The Forts of Old San Juan: Guardians of the Caribbean" |
|
08:15 - 12:30 PM |
Tour: San Felipe del Morro: The fort can be found on the northwestern-most point of the islet of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Originally named in honor of King Philip II of Spain, the fortification, also referred to as el Morro, was designed to guard the entrance to the San Juan Bay, and defend the city of Old San Juan from seaborne enemies. Across from El Morro and facing the structure on the opposite side of the San Juan bay, a smaller fortification known as El Cañuelo. El Cañuelo served as a dual complement to El Morro to protect the city and the ships waiting for passage to Spain loaded with the riches of the new world. SanCristóbal: The Castillo de San Cristóbal is the largest fortification built by the Spanish in the New World. The fortification was finished in 1783. Upon completion, the structures and associated fortification covered about 27 acres of land and basically wrapped around the city of San Juan. It was built by Spain to protect against land based attacks on the city of San Juan. San Cristóbal was built on a hill originally known as the Cerro de la Horca or the Cerro del Quemadero. In subsequent years the named was changed to Cerro de San Cristóbal in celebration of the Spanish victories ejecting English and Dutch interlopers from the island. |
