Achieve "Business as Usual" in Healthcare During Challenging Times

Analyst frameworks can be a great resource, but to provide value, most have to be tailored to fit each company. Gartner’s secure access service edge (SASE) is a great framework example. It is gaining traction within the industry because it drives benefits like reducing vendor management overhead and complexity, but because different companies will have their own priorities, the framework doesn’t provide a set solution.

This talk will map out how to develop your requirements, conduct a gap analysis, lock in a plan, and get buy-in for your SASE-based program.

You will gain:
• An understanding of the SASE framework and its benefits
• Step-by-step detail about how to operationalize the framework
• Tools to help you develop the strategy and business case

Join us for a quick but actionable overview of how to integrate the protection of your edge!

It was another record-breaking year for cyberattacks. Globally, there were 193 billion credential stuffing attacks. We also saw 6.3 billion web attacks, with SQL Injection and Local File Inclusion being the most common attacks. Along with an overall increase in incidents, 2020 saw new daily peaks, with global credential abuse reaching 1,003,963,614 attacks in a single day. And we witnessed the rise of phishing kits, which introduced a whole new approach for hackers to take. In our latest report, we team up with WMC Global to bring you a complete, in-depth look at the current state of cyberthreats and highlight a highly targeted vertical for attacks: FinServ businesses.
