East IT & Security Leaders Forum Presentations

The evolution of the cyber threat landscape can create an illusion of unpredictability. Understanding the significance of recent events gives visibility into the shifting dynamics of adversary tactics, which is critical for staying ahead of and ultimately defeating today’s threats. Today’s threat landscape features security concerns that must be shared across all levels of the organization. As security teams assess the evolving threat landscape, what changes are actually required, and what can be done about it?

• Malicious actors are intensifying attacks on critical cloud infrastructure with new, sophisticated approaches
• Organizations can implement the right combination of security tools to stop an adversary with speed
