(firmenpresse) - SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/25/12 -- RedSeal Networks will host a groundbreaking thought leadership webinar "" hosted by , chief technology officer at RedSeal Networks, on April 26 at 10 a.m. PDT.
Building on his widely recognized and heavily attended presentation at the BSidesSF Conference in February, Dr. Lloyd will continue to advance the case for renewed debate over the use of quantitative metrics to measure the overall effectiveness and performance of enterprise security strategy and network defenses.
While some industry pundits have labeled the movement as dead in the water after years scant progress in terms of adoption, he claims to have unlocked the potential for use of such indicators by tying the figures more closely to matters of network access, real-world vulnerability exposure and the underlying business value of specific IT assets.
According to a survey conducted by RedSeal and at the , security professionals admit that they're buried in a virtual avalanche of information produced by their existing security solutions, and feel unable to extract key figures to inform their decisions. Despite the perception among some experts that the security metrics movement has stalled, respondents expressed a significant desire for new methods to measure risk, compliance and overall network protection.
Dr. Lloyd's talk will focus on specific issues related to the debate including:
Why previous management via metrics have under-delivered
The need to tie measurement to underlying business value
How you can build metrics that truly measure effectiveness
