Most organizations realize they need to address security operations in a structured way, by means of having a Security Operations Center (SOC) that can effectively be the organization’s operational defense against cyberattacks. However, it is not easy to decide what path to follow: build your own SOC, outsource the SOC to a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) or use a hybrid SOC model. CyberSafe’s session focus on the advantages and disadvantages of these alternative approaches, providing real examples from the market.

Main CyberSafe vendor partners, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Security and FireEye will present in this conference too. CyberSafe is currently a HPE Security Gold Partner and a FireEye Silver Partner.

European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

CyberSafe, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Security, Swivel Secure and SPS Advogados organized an event about the new European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), hosted in Pousada de Lisboa, Portugal.

The new European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has an enforcement date of 25 May 2018. Failure to comply with these provisions imposes fines of up to EUR 20 million or 4% of annual turnover in the event of failure. GDPR represents a huge challenge and will require organizations to implement new mechanisms for managing and protecting their customers’ data, such as new procedures or new solutions.

The objective of this event named “Winning the GDPR Challenge” is to give an overview of the GDPR and its requirements and obligations by organizations, show how to start in defining a strategy, give an overview of some solutions that help addressing this challenge and particularize some of them with the testimony of some of CyberSafe clients: Credibom (a bank part of the Crédit Agrícole group) and Imprensa Nacional – Casa da Moeda (a government institution that issues national ID cards and passports, bank cards, manufactures coins and publishes several official documents).

In this event, Dr. Sara Henriques Partner of SPS Advogados showed what legal requirements organizations must adhere to. Dinis Fernandes, Executive Manager of CyberSafe pointed the path where organizations can start: a GDPR Assessment guided by CyberSafe consultants and/or the complete GDPR Program consultancy engagement. CyberSafe showed also a top-level vision of the main solutions that might help prepare for GDPR. Jesus Prieto, Solutions Architect of HPE Security showed how HPE Data Security solutions can provide breach neutralization by Encryption and Pseudonymisation to ensure sensitive customer and employee data is protected.

And finally, Nelson Silva, CyberSafe’s Technical Manager showed how to use a SOC to identify a security breach in a timely fashion, and how to respond to it.
