Robotic process automation is quickly becoming an integral part of the new CX delivery model. Technologies like predictive analytics, machine learning, and cognitive computing are becoming more powerful. But what does this mean for your customer and for your business?
We will be discussing the application of these technologies in a real world CX automation context.

Many breached organizations—of all sizes—believed they had effective security programs and incident response plans. Reality proved otherwise.
Now, executive leaders are far more concerned with incident preparedness. When the Board asks, ‘How ready are we, really?’ your security team must have a defensible response.

In this webinar, Jeff Laskowski, Security Consulting Director of FireEye Mandiant, explains how to achieve effective preparation:

• Test your team’s detection and response capabilities to protect key assets against real-world targeted attacks—without the consequences of a real incident
• Assess your organization’s crisis management capabilities through the lens of an executive team
• Improve your team’s detection and response capabilities in accordance with the latest attacker tactics, techniques, and motivations

How a Digital Risk Framework (an understanding of the differences between cyber security, cyber risk and digital risk) can help identify and mitigate risks to your Cloud Infrastructures.

In this session you will learn what a Digital Risk Framework is, how a Digital Risk Framework can help you comply with the onslaught of privacy regulations (CCPA, GDPR, HIPPA, etc) and its impact on your Cloud Infrastructures, which are most commonly used.

Many enterprises are adopting a cloud-first strategy in efforts to drive business innovation and growth. As cloud deployments grow, security requirements grow with them – leading to a trend of security responsibilities becoming dispersed as traditional security implementations impede the speed to delivery. Distributed responsibilities lead to fragmented security implementations - add to the problem the lack of skilled personnel, misconfiguration errors, overly permissive access, shadowed IT, and a lack of consistency between on-premise and cloud security controls, and you can end up with a recipe for disaster.
