A new cloud security strategy for a new normal

Security will play a key role in enabling new hybrid ways of working as the world begins to re-open, with employees increasingly on the move. As hybrid working increases, firms need to be able to quickly adapt their operations to continue to work effectively and compliantly.

But these new models bring increased risk; multiple devices, multiple locations, multiple access points coupled with yet another morphing of the threat landscape as attackers look to take advantage of new weaknesses.

Our webinar will explore:
• the future of work and what this means for security within financial organisations
• the new opportunities for attack
• the key priorities to keep organisations safe and secure
• how to balance the risk with the opportunity

Securing the future of work for the financial organisations

As organisations explore a hybrid workplace model, voice solutions enter an important crossroad. 89% of IT decision makers want to reduce communication costs, and legacy solutions are becoming increasingly expensive to maintain and counter-intuitive to an agile, digital strategy. 

Additionally, as people begin to work across multiple hybrid environments, what role will 5G mobile solutions play in providing greater flexibility, a superior user experience and a consistent voice no matter where they work?

Join us and our partner Cisco for part three of our hybrid headaches webinar series, as we discuss how you can make your voice heard.

Securing the future of work

Global organisations are facing the challenge of developing an inclusive model for hybrid working. How do you build a strategy for digital work, whilst managing the complexities of a safe return to the workplace? 

Whilst technology and outcomes are key, putting people first must always be the starting point. Employee wellbeing and productivity have been put in the spotlight, at the same time as delivering stand-out customer experiences. To accommodate for different personas and workstyles, the need increases for an inclusive strategy that ensures everyone has an equal seat at the table.

Watch our webinar with our partner Cisco as we share a people-first blueprint for a secure and scalable future of work.

BT and Cisco: Delivering a blueprint for the future of work

Like many people around the world, the chances are you’re thinking about returning to your workplace later this year. But it won’t be the same as it was before. In fact, 60% of business executives believe offices will be very different post-pandemic as hybrid brings a new era for our places of work.

However, there’s no ‘one size fits all’ approach to this new way of working. Organisations need to establish what hybrid means for them, the challenges associated with it and how their workplaces will serve the needs of their employees, now and in the future.

'Hybrid headaches' webinar series: What is the future of the workplace?

Security thinking has been moving towards Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) for some time now to protect the new dynamic perimeter. It brings together connectivity and network security into a single policy-driven service that provides consistent centrally-managed access and security from edge to edge.

Join our latest webinar as we share our experience and give you unique insight into:
• the BT approach to SASE
• how to move to SASE in the most simple and cost effective way
• how to mitigate the risks of change.

Speakers:
• James Todd, Security CTO, BT
• Tristan Morgan, Director of security advisory services, BT
• David Stark, Security portfolio director, BT

SASE: how to define the most effective strategy

Many organisations are looking to connect their OT and IT environments as part of their Digital Transformation, but this will make their critical OT infrastructure more vulnerable to cyber-attacks.

Threat actors are increasingly targeting OT as an entry point as it's often less well protected. The impact of an attack is far-reaching, from operational disruption to potentially physical safety issues. 

Watch our latest webinar in our as we share insight on how to:
• gain visibility of threats 
• maintain ongoing monitoring
• integrate your OT management into your infrastructure
• define the right use cases for your organisation
• implement controls

• Tristan Morgan, Director, Security advisory services, BT 
• Hila Meller, VP security, Europe, BT
•	Bryan Fite, Security advisory services, BT

When two worlds collide: How to define your IT/OT Security strategy

The average business executive uses 3.5 collaboration tools. Choice can often be seen as a privilege, particularly when it provides better opportunities in the technology space, but what if that same privilege creates a paradox? The beauty of choice, if managed correctly, can enable you to establish and fine tune a successful hybrid workplace strategy to suit the changing needs of your organisation. However, uncontrolled and ill-managed choice can become a burden to both your strategy and workforce – affecting return on investment, productivity and user experience. 

What if you could manage the paradox of choice to firmly establish your hybrid strategy and effectively enable your workforce with the right technology?

'Hybrid headaches' webinar series - Part 1: Is choice a double-edged sword?

Coronavirus completely transformed the way organisations enable their workforces. The pandemic has accelerated the shift to creating an effective digital office and utilising collaboration tools, with video meeting usage increasing more than 300%.

70% of business executives agree better collaboration would make a big improvement to their organisation’s success.

Create consistent user experiences to get your business thriving again

In a rapidly shifting threat landscape, understanding adversary behavior and the biggest threats to your business is a constant challenge. The increasing number of threat actors, the loss of the network perimeter with cloud and a rise in remote working and connected devices to the network, all increase the number and types of threats you are exposed to.

The evolution of threat detection
