Now more than ever, threat intelligence and information sharing have become a requirement to achieve successful security operations throughout every industry sector. Unfortunately, organizations continue to struggle with responding to attacks for lack of incident response plans and budgets. This has created a multidimensional threat intelligence scale problem that if left unaddressed, will expand the attack surface for organizations across the globe.
This panel of industry experts will dissect the tried and true methods for executing on threat intelligence in a meaningful way. Join this session to uncover how existing network security controls have hindered enterprises’ ability to scale; debate the challenges for operationalizing threat intelligence and ensuring threat feeds are up to date, and unpack the human scale problem – will it take an army?
21st Century Workforce Needs | 1:30-2:15pm

Moderator
Alex Galiani, Business Development Manager, Technical.ly
Panel
Jonas Gyllensvaan CEO, SyncDog
Ellison Anne Williams CEO, Enveil
Tom Martz, MasterPeace Software Engineer and Co-Founder, Yikes!
The needs of today’s workforce have evolved exponentially, and organizations must be prepared to efficiently and securely facilitate the completion of critical tasks that could require execution from any corner of the world. This requirement is made more complicated by the lack of qualified cybersecurity professionals in the job market and the ever-increasing requirement of business employees to text, email, and communicate globally around the clock. This panel will discuss three different case studies and the security considerations that should be made by organizations in order to stave off cyber threats.
– Managing device connectivity within the office
– Balancing productivity/security while working remotely
– Securely transmitting data from “the field”
These situations are likely to be encountered by a company who will have to respond to the needs of their workforce while also implementing safeguards that keep the business secure.
