ISMG’s Virtual Roundtables focus on specific challenges being faced by information security executives in today’s cybersecurity landscape. Moderated by one of ISMG’s Executive Editors and a guest industry expert, Virtual Roundtables give cybersecurity professionals the opportunity to discuss threats and controls with a handful of market leaders in an informal and online setting, from which you will emerge with new ideas and solutions you can immediately put to work to improve your own organization’s defensive posture.
Topic
Can Better Business Continuity Secure Your Workforce?
When it comes to protecting the network and the workforce that relies on it, is your organization ready for the possibility of a large-scale distributed denial-of-service attack?
In recent weeks, banks, major online retailers and other organizations have reported record-breaking DDoS attacks aimed at disrupting their infrastructure and bringing down their networks and applications.
These types of large-scale DDoS attacks and other security challenges are happening at time when many employees have shifted to a largely work-from-home environment. At the same time, organizations of all sizes are looking to minimize their business and productivity disruptions.
The challenges that CISOs and their security teams are facing are numerous. Can older technologies support this new paradigm? Are newer technologies needed? Will remote employees be able to access business-critical applications in a safe and secure manner?
Please join ISMG’s Scott Ferguson for an exclusive Virtual Roundtable that will draw from the experiences of the attendees, offering thoughts on the challenges of business continuity in the new era of remote work and how security issues such as DDoS attacks still need to be addressed.
Discussion topics will include:
- Why are DDoS attacks becoming more powerful and how can security teams mitigate their impact when much of the workforce has shifted to work-from-home?
- Can older technologies, such as VPNs, keep up with demand or are new tools and approaches needed?
- How can creating a better business-continuity plan help your organization scale and deliver better performance and reliability during these changing times?
Joining Scott to provide expert insight and case studies is Tony Lauro, Director of Technology and Security Strategy at Akamai Technologies.
