Information Security Decisions hosts LIVE #ISD12 Tweetchat on Friday, May 4 @ 12:00 PM EST

Please join us for our #ISD12 TweetChat! As our annual Information Security Decisions New York Conference approaches, we’re excited to get the conversations started! Lindsay Jeanloz (@TT_Edit_Events), Director of Editorial Events, and Mike Mimoso (@Mike_Mimoso), Editorial Director of the Security Media Group, will be hosting this #ISD12 TweetChat “In Real Life” from 12:00-1:00 pm EST this Friday, May 4 in the #ISD12 TweetChat Room. We’re thrilled to have conference speakers Diana Kelley (@securitycurve) and Dan Guido (@dguido) participate in the conversation!

Here are the planned topics and some potential discussion questions:

TOPIC 1: Big Data and Security:

• Despite all the cries for analysis of security data, logs are for the most part ignored. Why would security teams want to collect more data they won’t analyze?
• Is big data for security feasible?
• What tools are necessary to adequately gain visibility into security events and properly analyze them?

TOPIC 2: Mobile Security:

• Mobile hacking, reality or fiction?
• What are attacker capabilities around mobile hacks and malware?
• Where are the exploitable vulnerabilities with mobile platforms?
• Which defensive tactics work?

TOPIC 3: Cloud Security:

• What three security issues do my executives need to know about cloud computing?
• If I’m a small company with very little clout, how do I get adequate visibility into a service provider’s controls?
• My organization has an incident response plan; how can I ensure that translates to a cloud computing engagement?

TOPIC 4: Threats:

• How much attention should my organization pay to hacktivists? Does it matter who’s attacking me if I’m not a government agency or the military?
• What are the most common data exfiltration points that an organization needs to monitor and/or block?
• If signature-based antimalware isn’t adequate any more, why should my organization keep running it and investing in licenses and upgrades, etc.?

TOPIC 5: PCI:

• Now that PCI is on a three-year cycle, how should an organization prioritize its PCI program until the next version of the standard is released?
• Any insight into whether the recent guidances will be requirements in the next version?
• Tokenization or encryption? Is tokenization enough in a PCI environment for security and compliance? How are they complementary?
