BOSTON – August 17, 2020 – Tufin® (NYSE: TUFN), a company pioneering a policy-centric approach to security and IT operations, today announced that its Chief Technology Officer, Reuven Harrison, will host a speaking session entitled “Defenders Think in Lists; Attackers Think in Graphs” at the 2020 CloudNativeCon Europe event, taking place virtually on August 17.

Most of our digital infrastructure is at risk due to the gap that exists between attack and defense strategies. Attackers usually penetrate systems in a graph-like flow. They start by identifying an entry point and then use discovery techniques and lateral movement to reach the “crown jewels.” Security teams often protect their systems using checklists: vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, excess privileges, etc.

In this session, Reuven will discuss this gap, its causes and implications, and suggest a better approach which is based on network connectivity analysis combined with weakness analysis.

Who:                    Reuven Harrison, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Tufin
