SUMMARY:Engineering the Threat Landscape: A Tego Security Event
DESCRIPTION:One Day. Five Partners. Maximum Impact.\nIn the current threat landscape\, “observing” security isn’t enough; you have to engineer it. Join Tego and five of our strategic security partners for an intensive\, one-day security summit designed for IT leaders and engineers who prefer the command line over a slide deck. This isn’t a typical “lunch and learn.” It is a high-impact environment where you’ll get under the hood of the industry’s most advanced security stacks through hands-on technical labs. \nLeave your notepad at home and bring your laptop. Partners will demo environments to test configurations\, simulate attacks\, and see exactly how their solutions respond to real-world threats. \nWe’ve curated a stellar lineup featuring industry titans and disruptive innovators\, including: \n\nCATO\nCrowdstrike\nHorizon 3\nProofpoint\nRubrik\n\nThis event brings together IT professionals in the RTP area. Between labs\, you’ll have the opportunity to network with peers who are facing the same challenges you are. Don’t miss this opportunity to harden your skills and learn more about strengthening your security stack in a single day. \nSpace is limited\, so register today! \nAgenda\n8:30 AM – Check in \n8:45 AM – Welcome/agenda review \n9:00 AM – 10:00 AM – Rubrik lab \n10:00 AM – 11:30 AM – CATO lab \nMark Zimmerman\, Systems Engineer Team Lead\, CATO \n11:30 AM – Break/transition to lunch \n11:45 AM – 12:30 PM – Lunch and panel discussion/executive briefing \n12:30 PM – Afternoon breakouts begin \n12:30 PM – 2:00 PM – Proofpoint lab \nJosh Borges\, Channel Sales Engineer\, Proofpoint \n2:00 PM – 3:00 PM – CrowdStrike lab \nEddie Montooth\, Sales Engineer\, Crowdstrike \n3:00 PM – 3:15 PM – Networking break \n3:15 PM – 4:45 PM – Horizon 3 lab \nAshlen Wright\, Sales Engineer\, Horizon 3 \n4:45 PM – Wrap up \n4:45 PM – 5:45 PM – Happy hour \nLab Descriptions\nCATO Networks\nThis workshop will give candidates the experience of driving the configuration\, event visibility\, and “showing” real examples of how to implement and manage a full SASE and SSE solution.  Attendees will be able to log in to a fully provisioned tenant to apply policies\, explore the Cato Management Application (CMA) product\, and ask questions relevant to their specific needs.   We will walk you through the dashboard\, how to add remote / branch sites\, how to onboard users\, and how to assign policies to secure your network.  In addition\, we can share many examples of how to secure your users\, regardless of where they are.\nCrowdstrike\nCHATTY SPIDER thrives in the noise by weaponizing phishing\, social engineering\, and fast-moving credential theft to slip past siloed defenses. In this hands-on workshop\, you’ll use CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM to detect real-world activity from this modern eCrime adversary and surface threats hidden in plain sight. \nWith unified telemetry\, built-in threat intelligence\, and innovations in AI\, UEBA\, and integrated case management\, you’ll: \n\nRespond faster across the entire attack chain by correlating data across endpoint\, identity\, and cloud.\nBreak down silos\, cut investigation time\, and automate enrichment\, triage\, and detection workflows so your SOC can scale response without scaling headcount.\nLearn how to outpace CHATTY SPIDER with an AI-native platform built for speed\, efficiency\, and cross-domain visibility.\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to gain hands-on experience with CrowdStrike’s unified\, AI-powered SOC platform and learn how to outpace modern threats like CHATTY SPIDER with speed\, precision\, and confidence. \nHorizon3\n\nThe H3 Hacker Challenge is an interactive workshop for customers\, partners\, and prospects to do what defenders rarely get the chance to do: go on offense! In this guided\, CTF-style experience\, participants will explore the NodeZero continuous autonomous pentesting platform by answering questions based on sample pentest results from a fictional company. \nAttendees will leave with a stronger understanding of NodeZero and how it helps teams: \n\n\nRun autonomous\, continuous penetration testing safely in production\nPrioritize findings based on real business risk\nAccelerate remediation with clear\, actionable guidance\nVerify fixes and continuously reduce exposure\nReinforce key questions and best practices within their own risk\, vulnerability management\, and pentesting programs\n\nRubrik \nStep into a live\, immersive cyberattack simulation at a fictional company\, where every decision you make in real time has profound consequences. The Zero Hour lab consists of: \n\n5 scenes: Scenes 1 and 5 are completed via video playback; scenes 2- 4 are done as small table-read groups.\nDiscussion held between each scene\nCloud w/a slight touch on identity\n\nBy attending this event\, attendees will gain: \n\nVisibility into navigating a full-scale cyberattack simulation and the real-time impact of decisions\nAbility to make critical\, operational decisions from breach detection to full recovery\nActionable and immediate strategies to fortify defenses and ensure business continuity\n\nProofpoint \nWelcome to the front lines of email security. Phishing emails flood inboxes\, spoofed domains impersonate trusted senders\, every click could trigger an attack\, and sensitive data is one wrong recipient away from leaving your organization. \nYour mission: detect phishing attempts\, investigate suspicious messages\, stop unauthorized data loss\, and neutralize threats before they can cause harm. Every decision counts.
