Think Tank

Bring Your Own . . . Enhancement

Over the next 5 years, it's forecasted that roughly 30% of enterprises will augment BYOD policies to include ?bring your own enhancement? (BYOE) to add focus to augmented staff members. It will be tempting for IT to try and regulate or control human augmentation technology, but the real focus should be to exploit the employee's interest in BYOE to advance the business. We are seeing manufacturing companies currently using wearables to promote worker safety, and companies in both travel and healthcare industries are using these devices to boost productivity. With these technologies constantly evolving, organizations should contemplate how these enhancements can be leveraged in both the personal and professional lives of the workforce. 

Takeaways: 

  • Impactful examples of BYOE Technology  
  • Strategies to encourage employees to use AI 
  • Critical considerations for IT's need to regulate Augmented Technology

Thought Leadership

You Need to Know Who Is Accessing Your Data, But Do You Really?

Knowing who is accessing what data is at the heart of security. Today, users and attackers get to your data through a mesh of web applications, APIs, and microservices. Unfortunately, your database logs only report the querying source as an authorized intermediary application without the originating requestor's information. This blind spot causes glaring gaps during audits, slows incident response, and impede breach detection.

 Learn how to apply new ways of continuously linking originating users' information to every database access with cohesive interworking between edge WAF, server RASP, and Data Activity Monitoring tools.

Lessons Learned on a Cloud Migration Project

Key business objectives - Provide an improved, modern digital workplace for all our associates - that is MORE secure than our on-premises solution.

Clean up all our old messes with data and address longstanding issues with "over retained" and ungoverned data.  

Takeaways: 

  • What part of your security does the CLOUD PROVIDER handle? What do YOU handle?  
  • How can your cloud solution be MORE secure than your on-premises solution? 
  • What tools are available to build a well governed cloud setup? How can we "clean up the mess" in our older setup?

Think Tank

Security in the Crosshairs - The Future Comes into Focus
All organizations, regardless of size, are continuously evolving through modern technologies. Having an incident response plan and an effective cybersecurity strategy is not a luxury, but rather a requirement. Finally, security training for employees to improve their awareness is becoming the rule instead of the exception. Security is now establishing a permanent footprint within the software development lifecycle, with SecDevOps/DevSecOps processes to incorporate security at all layers of development. 

Takeaways: 
  • Any organization can fall victim to a data breach  
  • Having a plan of action is essential to business survival 
  • Security has become a part of the conversation at nearly every level of an organization
