The 8th Annual IT Security Automation Conference



The 8th Annual IT Security Automation Conference is the premier meeting of government and industry leaders shaping the future of security automation and continuous monitoring. ITSAC focuses on the breadth and depth of automation principles and technologies designed to support information technology (IT) security automation requirements across organizations in multiple sectors. This program also provides a special focus on tools that are compliant with security automation standards.

This 3-day event includes tutorials, conference proceedings, workshops, opportunities to network and exchange ideas with your peers in the federal government and private industry sectors, and an exhibit hall that will offer a chance for the vendors of SCAP compliant tools to demonstrate how their technology meets the standards for developers, integrators and end-users.

Topics include: strategies for implementing continuous monitoring; using security automation tools and technologies to ease the technical burdens of policy compliance; and innovative uses of automation across the enterprise in both federal government and industry applications. Security automation leverages standards and specifications to reduce the complexity and time necessary to manage vulnerabilities, measure security, and ensure compliance, freeing resources to focus on other areas of the IT infrastructure.

The ITSAC conference will provide public and private sector executives, security managers and staff, IT professionals, and developers of products and services with a common understanding for using specific open standards and new security technologies across various domains of interest including:

  • Enabling interoperability across tools
  • Automation of risk mitigation measures
  • Defining continuous monitoring
  • Cloud, virtualization, and continuous monitoring
  • New and proven assessment capabilities
  • Automating integration of network security systems
  • Getting network security basics right
  • Future landscape of IT security threats
  • Using processes and tools to make practical risk-based decisions
  • Impact of mobile devices
  • Situational awareness with continuous compliance
