This is part two of the RSAC 365 Virtual Seminar: Analytics, Intelligence & Response which took place on September 9, 2021.

Session #1: Enabling Response at the Speed of Threat

As threats continue to proliferate, keeping pace with the escalating dangers and increasing speed of malicious actors and their ability to pivot and adapt has meant an ever more urgent need to evolve in our ability to rapidly detect and quickly resolve those threats. To that end, Target has invested heavily in maturing the tooling that supports incident response. This custom tooling ecosystem is designed to automate and streamline wherever possible, enabling incident response to keep pace by automating many elements of the investigation and response process. In the process, we have created an environment that has led to a copious number of innovations in threat detection and response. This talk will describe our approach and some of the capabilities we have built.

Session #2: XDR Defined: Giving Meaning to Extended Detection and Response

The term “extended detection and response” (XDR) was coined back in 2018, but definitions continue to vary significantly. In this session, we address the elephant in the room: defining XDR. Based on months of research interviewing practitioners, security vendors, and leaders in the field, Forrester Analyst Allie Mellen explains how XDR looks to transform the SOC and change the way we approach detection and response. Join to learn what XDR is, how it differs from existing solutions, and what benefits and drawbacks it may bring to security teams.
