LONDON — (Marketwire) — 11/16/11 — Trustwave, a leading provider of information security and compliance solutions, today announced that a Trustwave cyber security expert will speak at the IRISSCERT Cyber Crime Conference in Dublin, Ireland, 23 November. The presentation will be delivered by a member of Trustwave SpiderLabs, the team of ethical hackers responsible for , incident response and forensics, and security research.
Ryan Jones, managing consultant, Incident Response for Trustwave SpiderLabs EMEA, will present “Incident Readiness – Give Your Investigators a Fighting Chance,” which will demonstrate the benefits of engaging in to prepare a business environment should an attack, and an ensuing investigation, occur.
Incident readiness helps any business better prepare for a potential data breach or ethical hack. By determining ahead of time the specific data that should be made available in the event of a breach, forensic investigators can draw more accurate conclusions on missing information, how the breach was executed and the security implications.
Jones will review a Web application attack against two systems: one with default audit logging settings versus another that has undergone a forensic readiness engagement. Acting as an incident response specialist, Jones will compare the evidence in both attack scenarios and the contrasting resulting final reports, demonstrating how accurate evidence leads to a far better understanding of the compromise. With the ability to draw stronger conclusions about the attack, entities are able to react in a swift, targeted and measured way, reducing the impact of attacks, the cost to respond and any negative brand repercussions.
“Companies that consider incident readiness put their investigators in a much stronger position and can expect considerably more accurate conclusions from a forensic investigation,” said John Yeo, director of SpiderLabs, EMEA. “Data breaches can tarnish an organisation-s reputation and consumer trust; engaging in incident readiness can help minimise the impact and provide the organisation a firmer response plan.”
