Remote Workforce Security For The Future
1 – 9 September, 2021
IT teams and employees had to adapt to new ways of business overnight as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. It’s fundamentally changed how IT decision-makers look at work – it’s no longer ‘Remote Work’, ‘Working from home’ – it’s just ‘Working’!
With this shift, organisations and IT professionals need to prioritise their security investments to enable and secure the future of work (whatever form it takes in the coming years). It’s time for organizations to accelerate the implementation of robust security models like Zero Trust.
This four part Security Briefing series will bring an unbiased perspective to the following:
– The most basic (often overlooked) layer of infrastructure protection for DNS services
– The latest advanced Phishing methods being deployed against employees
– Insights into some of the recent Ransomware attacks that made headlines
– The latest workflows for securing Internal (Private) Applications and Network Access
We’ll also offer a peek into how Akamai’s Threat Intelligence Services’ are tuned to provide Security Operations teams accurate, real time domain intelligence to drive risk decisions about activity in their network.
