A Their Story interview with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli
Guest: Mounir Hahad
The organization telling us their story today is Juniper Networks.
Shining a light on the darkness of threats can’t come at the expense of a lack of trust in the data being analyzed
During RSA Conference 2020, Juniper Networks announced its ability to analyze encrypted traffic, bringing visibility and context to the network where threats and attacks continue to move toward a world of darkness. From the release: It permits organizations greater visibility and policy control over encrypted traffic, without requiring resource-intensive SSL Decryption.
We were able to speak with Mounir Hahad, Head of Juniper Threat Labs at Juniper Networks, to learn more about these new capabilities and the impact it can have on an information security program as organizations try to maintain visibility and control over their networks, systems, and data.
During our conversation, we cover several topics, including:
The need for visibility and intelligence to help make critical detection and response decisions
The value of visibility and information as organizations look to automate some of their security program activities
The damage that false positives can have on the ability for a team to respond; for individuals to stay effective and productive
How visibility, automation, and confidence in the information helps InfoSec teams avert burnout
“Whenever I drive product development here [within Juniper], I always push my team to strive towards zero false positives.”
You may not be able to hire as many people as you need on your team. Therefore, you need a level one team that can do meaningful work and not get burned out.
Have a listen as Mounir shares his thoughts on today’s state of cybersecurity, comparing it to the era of industrialization.
