At the RSA Conference 2013 in Amsterdam, Art Coviello outlined new approaches to help defend today’s highly interconnected and open enterprises.
Art Coviello is Executive Vice President for EMC and Executive Chairman of RSA, The Security Division of EMC. He and Amit Yoran, Senior Vice President, Unified Products, RSA, outlined new approaches to enable safe and trusted digital infrastructures. Coviello drew parallels between the Dutch economic history and trading innovation and what is needed in today’s digital world.
Using an intelligence-driven security model using Big Data and analytics technologies, Coviello said that security professionals can derive the necessary context to better defend enterprise networks and data from sophisticated cyber attacks. He emphasised that standalone controls are siloed and one-dimensional, thereby not adding value – but that context can be developed by integrating discrete security controls and enabling them to interact with and inform each other.
Coviello said: “When we understand the context of people’s ‘normal’ behaviour or how information flows on our networks, we can more clearly and quickly spot even a faint signal of any impending attack or intrusion. This is what makes intelligence-driven security future-proof. It eliminates the need for prior knowledge of the attacker or their methods.”
