Despite our best efforts and new technology, daily breach headlines suggest that the adversaries are winning. In a cybersecurity ecosystem over-optimized for alert management and incident response, it’s no wonder. There has been only so much that can be done at the network level that users must rely on endpoint protection—essentially waiting for the adversary to get in and sifting through noisy network alerts to find patterns of activity that have already happened. 

What if it was possible to pause every network session, fully inspect the content at the application layer, identify the tried-and-true tools and methods adversaries use (not the IOCs), and edit those tools and methods out of live network traffic to stop threats before they become an incident or a loss? And do it so fast and precise that it’s unnoticeable and false positives become a thing of the past? It would change everything.

This new approach refocuses energy on the actors and their techniques rather than all the things that need to be protected to scale to the threat.

Steve Ryan, Founder and CEO of Trinity Cyber, is a recognized leader in cybersecurity. He served our nation for decades by stopping nation-state cyber adversaries. He refined a cybersecurity methodology with groundbreaking technology and an expert team of practitioners.  
Steve will share his candid take on network security, including real-world experiences protecting some of the world’s largest and most sophisticated networks. He will address how far the industry has come, the work still to be done, and how things need to change to remediate threats before they escalate.
