Dancing with Threats: Staying Nimble with Secure Access

Date: November 12th, 2024, Tuesday
Time: 10:30am IST/ 1pm SGT / 3pm AEST

The security controls you choose for your organization need to both meet your unique requirements and keep up with both old and new threats. Threats are dynamic; attackers can pivot like a DJ that follows a bass drop with a waltz, and you need to be ready to adapt. In this webinar, we’ll discuss what we’ve learned from our research about current (and recurring) threats, the wide variety of options for designing your secure access amidst these threats, and how to avoid stepping on the toes of users and IT admin as you tackle identity, the perimeter, and dynamic policies. 

In this webinar, you will learn:

• Threats, both new and the old, that just keep coming 
• Strong, dynamic perimeter defenses 
• Key identity and device insights 
• Adaptive, in-session measures 
• Dynamic policies to limit exposure without hampering productivity
