Holistic Defense: Security Everywhere, at Every Stage
1:15 PM - 2:15 PM IST | The Westin Garden City, Mumbai
Event Overview
The pursuit of innovation creates risks that ripple throughout an organization. New web applications, APIs and integrations create new attack surfaces, as does embracing cloud-first and remote-friendly corporate networking.
Many organizations struggle to keep pace as their attack surfaces rapidly expand, giving threat actors more opportunities to exploit vulnerabilities and broaden their range of techniques. Security teams are finding it increasingly difficult to evolve their defenses in response to these growing threats. Too often, IT and security operations rely on disjointed, inflexible point solutions, which create security gaps, increase management overhead and lead to compatibility issues across systems. This growing complexity hinders visibility and control across environments, leaving organizations more exposed to risk, ultimately slowing down business growth.
Attendees will explore strategies to simplify operations and reduce confusion while enabling the organization to innovate and grow.
DISCUSSION POINTS
- How to build a robust security posture in a cloud environment
- Essentials to build a cloud-first organization
- The right approach to balance innovation and security.
