Why Ticketing Matters for Security Operations

Abstract: We have plenty of theories about how we should be managing incident response, but how do we take that from idea to actionable program? Join us as we demonstrate how to bring incident response and threat intelligence together under a common platform to enable security analysts to quickly, decisively and effectively understand and respond to incidents as they happen.

Speaker Biographies:
Kris Russo – I have been active in large enterprise IT for 20 years and hold a B.S. in Information Security & Intelligence. An initial infrastructure discipline helped lay the foundation to pursue my passion for information security. I have since held roles in GRC, infrastructure security, vulnerability management and am a certified incident handler. Today I am a Security Architect with a Boutique Integrator, based in West Michigan. My career path has uniquely positioned me to be an advisor for organizations looking to building information security programs that enhance response capability while maximizing the value of security investments.

My career began in Consulting Services, but evolved into Technical Sales and eventually Leadership. I have led many teams of Consultants, Architects and Sales Engineers on both the Vendor and Channel side. I have extensive experience developing Technical Sales plays, creating Service Offerings and fostering an entrepreneurial spirit in the teams I work with. I have been told my ability to understand the technical and work well with people is unique and valuable.
