Gartner & IBM Webcast: The Future of Threat Detection

The Future of Threat Detection: UEBA and SIEM Together?

An IBM Security webinar featuring Gartner analyst Anton Chuvakin

Gone are the days of a clearly defined network perimeter, in which you can confidently rely on static rules to detect intruders. As the cyber threat landscape has evolved, so has the vendor landscape. With all the options available, do you know which threat detection solutions to invest in – much less which ones will still exist in five years?

Listen to this IBM Security webinar featuring Gartner analyst Anton Chuvakin to learn:

  • Similarities and differences between SIEM and UEBA solutions
  • Predictions on the future of these two markets
  • How QRadar’s single-platform approach to SIEM and UEBA can help you not only detect more threats, but also more accurately determine if a threat is real versus benign

Big Data Analytics and Data Science: Is Your Organization Ready for the Deluge?

The growth in the amount of data – from social media, streamed video, and unstructured documents – is a boon for storage vendors. But this assault is just beginning – IDC predicts that by 2020 there will be 20 billion new internet of things (IoT) devices globally, each sending data to be gathered, stored and analyzed.

But why move data into a monolithic lake when you can process it where it’s created?

In an age where everyone makes data-driven decisions, what should you be doing now to prepare for the analytics and data science demands your users will make?

That’s what we’re talking about today with Syed Mahmood, Director of Product Management for Data Science at Hortonworks.

  • Which data sources matter most – today and in the future
  • How to survive the expected shortage of data scientists
  • Why bringing analytics and models ‘to the edge’ enhances efficiency
  • How to reconcile data scientists’ growing need for self-service with governance mandates
  • What data governance and security impacts the data deluge will create
