ISSA National Capital Chapter May meeting topic:

Outcome Based Security
in a Continuous Monitoring World
by Ron Gula

Abstract
The speaker will discuss how large scale enterprises security programs are combining their compliance and security monitoring solution into continuous monitoring efforts. He will review why SIMs, GRC, anti virus, IDS, patch management and many other types of enterprise security technologies fail at scale and how they can be best used in a continuous monitoring effort.
