So your enterprise bought a new bright and shiny – now what? I bet their InfoSec practices are fine, right? We will discuss how to plan and execute on an integration from a defense perspective; due diligence, purchasing, and integrating into enterprise security engineering and defense practices along with migrating monitoring into your own SOC (or MSSP). This talk is also applicable to you just landed an InfoSec job at a company that is just starting their security program and wonder where to start.
