How to Measure the Security of your Network Defenses

To defend networks, we should be able to measure their security performance. I’m going to show you the exact techniques to measure the security of portions of your internal networks, such as anti-virus, malware and anomalous event detection. Then we will apply the same techniques to compare the security of classes of protective security products even though vendors don’t supply such specifications.  

Main points covered:

• How to measure security and compare the effectiveness of protective devices as a function of time
• The internal process mechanism is immaterial to system measurement; signature-based A/V, rule-based binary decision making, heuristics, deep learning or any possible hybrid
• Attendees will be introduced and receive the math, the tools, charts and schematics on how to measure their own security

Winn has lived Security since 1983, and now says, “I think, maybe, I’m just starting to understand it.” His predictions about the internet & security have been scarily spot on. He coined the term “Electronic Pearl Harbor” while testifying before Congress in 1991 and showed the world how and why massive identify theft, cyber-espionage, nation-state hacking and cyber-terrorism would be an integral part of our future. He was named the “Civilian Architect of Information Warfare,” by Admiral Tyrrell of the British MoD.
