Securing the everywhere workplace has never been more important – or pressing. To make matters worse, threats of all types have grown in sophistication – often targeting remote work-generated vulnerabilities – and are taking place at an alarming rate. Phishing attempts, for example, are up 85% year-over-year (with 74% of organizations falling victim), and 59% of organizations have reported being victimized by ransomware in 2021. Factor in a global shortage of security experts, combined with tight budgets everywhere, and now the simple act of organizing and prioritizing vulnerabilities consumes the lion’s share of security and IT time – as much as 53%.
In this environment, security leaders must have a comprehensive, scalable, and framework-aligned cybersecurity strategy designed for the everywhere-workplace. Also, it must span the full spectrum of risk and security management — from users and their devices to networks, applications and data.
This mandate is not without significant challenges. In this private breakfast briefing, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with like-minded security leaders to exchange ideas and share knowledge about addressing those challenges.
The keynote will cover the building blocks of a scalable security strategy, with a discussion of best practices for implementation and ongoing management:
- Ensuring visibility into your entire IT estate.
- Consolidating device management to a single platform.
- Establishing device hygiene with up-to-the-minute insights about your endpoints and automatic remediation of vulnerabilities.
- Moving to passwordless authentication.
- Reducing your attack surface using a zero trust network access approach.
We’ll continue with an open Q&A of:
- The challenges with recruiting security and IT professionals.
- Pressure on employers to provide an optimal employee experience – and how that squares with necessary security measures.
- Opportunities for automation to shoulder some of the burden of repetitive tasks.
- How best to prioritize remediation efforts to direct limited resources where they are most needed.
