Best Practices and Essential Tools for GDPR Compliance

After all, with so many chapters and articles full of complex bureaucratic language, it’s not particularly easy to comprehend for IT people looking for specific instructions on what technical measures to implement. 

Join this KuppingerCole webinar to get practical, straightforward advice on how to prepare for GDPR, including: 

• Devising and maintaining a plan to detect a data breach,
• Properly documenting evidence of compliance for auditors,
• Evaluating the effectiveness of your security practices,
• Minimizing costs by reducing the number of tools and processes needed,
• Selecting the right technology platform or managed service

In the first part of the webinar, Mike Small, Senior Analyst at KuppingerCole, will outline the broad scope of the GDPR requirements and explain how to translate them into tasks that IT practitioners can understand and address directly. He will talk about the best practices, essential tools and organizational processes you need to focus on to find the shortest road to compliance.

In the second part, Javvad Malik, Security Advocate at AlienVault, will focus specifically on challenges that mid-sized organizations are facing with regards to compliance regulations. Without the resources and expertise of their larger counterparts, they are still subject to the same requirements. Finding a way to implement all necessary security controls as easily as possible is crucial – and Javvad will talk about choosing the right security tools and managed service providers for tackling the GDPR beast.

We’ve experienced firsthand just how frustrating and challenging security can be – the struggles with failing SIEM implementations; having to settle for inadequate security due to budget constraints; shelving hundreds of thousands of dollars of security software because it is just too hard to use; and, of course, the aftermath of security breaches that could have been prevented.

We founded AlienVault to help organizations of all shapes and sizes achieve world-class security without the headaches and huge expense of other solutions. And we are passionate about our mission.
