In light of the constant change in the threat landscape, how does an organization keep up with the attackers who're always innovating? New specialized security solutions are regularly being introduced to address new threats, increasing complexities and the non-functional requirement(NFRs) associated with integration of these systems to already complicated enterprise web applications. How does an organization implement holistic defense without increasing cost, complexity and impacting user experience? Edgio will address how an edge-enabled holistic security platform can effectively reduce the attack surface, improve the effectiveness of the defense while reducing the latency of critical web applications via it’s multi-layered defense approach. It also offers the ability to integrate with an enterprises' DevSecOps workflow to achieve better security practices. Edio will discuss how its security platform “shrinks the haystacks” so that organizations can better focus on delivering key business outcomes.

Each year, Forrester tracks the top systemic risks — external events that impact your firm and customers but are out of your control — facing organizations. The impacts of climate change are both short-term, in the form of severe weather, drought, and heat waves, and long-term, in the form of biodiversity loss, sea-level rise, and rising temperatures. Want to see where climate risk ranked on the list? Read The Top Systemic Risks, 2023 (https://www.forrester.com/report/the-top-systemic-risks-2023/RES179156) or listen to this segment on Business Security Weekly.

A resilient cybersecurity strategy is essential to running your business while protecting against security threats and preventing data breaches. For CISOs, partnering with a managed service security provider (MSSP) means you can be in control of your organization’s information and infrastructure security without placing a strain on internal personnel or resources which is critical in today’s uncertain economy. With an MSSP on board, CISOs are better equipped to meet strategic and business goals, while improving operations and reducing expenses. This interview will discuss not only why to consider an MSSP but how to choose the right one for the job.

AT&T Cybersecurity released its 12th annual Cybersecurity Insights Report, “Edge Ecosystem,” which highlights the dramatic shift in computing underpinned by 5G, the edge, and the convergence of networking and security. The report found that business and technology leaders are finally coming together not just to understand the new edge computing ecosystem, but to make more predictable, data-informed business decisions. Collaboration among these leaders, as well as external partners in the ecosystem, will be critical for the edge journey ahead – but more progress must be made to better leverage the edge and transform the business.

“Man plans, the Universe laughs” - unfortunately, that’s been the saying for far too long when it comes to cybersecurity. Security leaders know it's only a matter of time before their organization gets breached, but instead of being ready for it, they rely on fixing the problem after it happens. In Cisco’s newest report, the first ever Cybersecurity Readiness Index, it was found that a small minority of businesses globally (15%) consider themselves to be ready and able to defend against the expanding array of cybersecurity risks and threats of today. Organizations need to get ready and stay ready with solutions they can trust.
