The evolution of cybercrime coupled with digitalization has transformed our concepts of business assets and customer interaction. An organization's data and online presence is more important than ever. In cybersecurity terms, this increases the attack surface and increases the impact of a breach, making it a business level problem.

Digitalization continues to drive rapid changes in business models and network architectures. On the other hand, it also drives change in how cybercriminals operate by harvesting data and launching automated attacks at scale. However, security approaches have largely stayed the same, relying on reactive policy management, disparate technologies, point solutions and complex workflows. This is apparent as organizations continue to suffer data breaches as they struggle to integrate data, point solutions, security operations teams and processes.

Dispersed networks, an explosion of data, disparate technologies and complex security operations present cybercriminals with gaps or "seams" in organizations' security postures. Fighting this requires a coordinated and collaborative approach that seamlessly orchestrates best-of-breed people, process and technology. This must utilize industry standard best practices and be powered by visibility across the threat landscape as well as actionable threat intelligence across all threat vectors.

In this session, we will talk about some security best practices to address modern security challenges and provide an overview of some technology as well as process approaches.
