CISOs are engaged in an arms race between the capabilities of attackers and their own defense postures. Real-world #cybersecurity demands that CISOs make hard choices like allocating limited funding to the highest-return projects, directing their overburdened teams to the most serious breaches, or rebalancing their own time and resources, pivoting from dealing with tactical issues to strategic leadership.
Check out this digital report from CISOs on how to make the tough but strategic cybersecurity decisions for your business: https://hubs.ly/H0w_Mst0

COVID-19 & Remote Workers: Creating The Perfect Storm for Cybercriminals
One of the most resource-intensive task required of security teams is the correlation and analysis of the massive volumes of data being produced by security devices and network sensors. This challenges the fact that network breaches often remain undetected for months, allowing cybercriminals to establish elaborate botnets, and slowly exfiltrate millions of records containing customer information and intellectual property.
Fortunately, artificial intelligence #AI and #machinelearning are poised to help resolve these issues. Read more how AI-based security standards are playing an increasing critical role in support digital innovation efforts here: https://hubs.ly/H0wyGp50

September is Insider Threat Awareness Month launched by #NCSC and #NITTF to bring awareness to organizations, so check out these tips on how to prevent accidental breaches and costly, malicious cyberattacks to your organization's network and applications here: https://hubs.ly/H0wc5DS0

What is SIEM or Security Information & Event Management?
Digital innovation, #WFH, #IoT, and other trends have forced nearly every organization to redesign their networks to provide a better user experience for both employees and customers. The so-called network perimeter, which was once a narrow point of access at the edge of the network, now extends across the entire IT infrastructure and beyond the traditional trusted zone.
This is now introducing new requirements across all of the edges that make up the new network—the data center, WAN, local-area network (LAN), remote workers, and cloud access. Read more here: https://hubs.ly/H0DjLWc0
