EmberSec is headed to HIMSS! In addition to our exhibitor presence and participation at both the Cloud Forum and Cybersecurity Forum, By Light CTO, Ken Jenkins, alongside Jimmy Bayne, Security Consultant, EmberSec, will be delivering a session on how to improve your security controls with features underutilized in many enterprises. The session "Enhancing Security Controls with Application Whitelisting," is scheduled to be held on Thursday, March 12th in Cybersecurity Theatre 1 from 10:15a – 10:35a. Attendees of this session will be entered to win a set of Apple AirPods, to be given away at the conclusion of the talk. ​

Session Description: Application Control is the practice of restricting unauthorized code execution. Application Whitelisting (AWL) is the most popular approach, which permits code execution from trusted applications based on policies/rules. As a critical control, we'll discuss the importance of implementing Application Whitelisting and how it helps protect healthcare organizations from cybersecurity threats.
