Reimagining Your Defense – Securing the Modern Workforce
Hosted by Google Cloud
Business as usual isn’t a winning strategy in 2022. The workforce is changing and the workplace is everywhere. The cybersecurity threat surface area is constantly expanding across people, devices, applications, and networks. Threats are a moving target and can have a massive impact on organizations’ financial health and business continuity.
The primary challenges this session will focus on include:
- Delivering secure access to your users anywhere, anytime
- Combatting the volume and sophistication of ransomware attacks
- Managing non-corporate devices and the influx of shadow IT
