Panel Moderator - Neil Rubenking, PC Magazine Topic: "Continuous Threat Analysis of you environment - from Home Network to the Enterprise Trust Zones" - Part I: The Paradigm Shift
Panelists: Anthony Arrott, CheckVR, USA Arun Lakhotia, University of Louisiana, Lafayette John O'Brien, Microsoft Alexander Volynkin, Senior Research Scientist CMU Ivan Macalintal, Microsoft Description: With the emergence of Windows 10 and Windows 365, the idea that you can protect an end-point device has finally come to an end. Even in the home environment, there is no longer a single device that can be protected and its protection used as a measure of the "health/security of your system". In the home environment, the emerging paradigm is that of a Trusted Zone that includes: a. multiple Windows computers;
b. a router with an embedded firewall;
c. a cloud based repository, e.g., google drive, or Microsoft one drive;
d. multiple "the Internet of things" devices - your thermostat, your electric meter, and so forth
e. others - name them
This two day panel will discuss emerging metrics that attempt to capture what the health/security of your trusted zone looks like on a continuous basis. A key element of any such metric is the analysis of the threat landscape for your Trusted Zone. This means that the specific environment - i.e., the "Trusted Zone" characteristics are a critical element of such definition.
The panelist will attempt to take a first step in defining the metrics that can effectively characterize the health of the system under observation.
