Presented by Verizon
Aside from cyber-crime, business leaders have plenty to worry about, from transforming how they serve customers during a pandemic to evaluating the impact that new technologies will have on their industry and the competitive landscape. Verizon’s research shows that because they face so many daily challenges, some business leaders de-prioritize cybersecurity and simply hope for the best. But cybersecurity doesn’t have to be an overwhelmingly complex, time-consuming, or expensive task: implementing some basic “cyber-hygiene” into your organization and knowing about the most relevant threats can reduce the risk of a cyberattack. Verizon Security Evangelist David Grady will draw on data from Verizon’s world-class research – including the annual Data Breach Investigations Report – and share some tips on how to get started.

Organizations spend more money on cyber security tools every year, yet the number of breaches and the cost of these breaches continues to increase. A new approach is needed that relies on autonomous analysis that can respond at machine speed. By embracing automation, AI, and big data analytics, organizations can better prevent threats, find, and detect what is missed, provide contextual linking for forensic and threat hunting ¬– and even more importantly – self-heal and fully recover when necessary.

Adoption of cloud services and the explosive increase in mobile and IoT devices have driven enterprises to transform both their WAN and security architectures – not just one or the other. The strategic imperative is to deploy a more intelligent, highly automated software-defined wide area network (WAN) that can be seamlessly integrated with modern cloud-delivered security services. Gartner coined the term “secure access service edge” (SASE) to describe this cloud-first architecture. During this session, we’ll discuss:
