Global Survey of Cybersecurity Leaders: Benchmarking Security Gaps & Privileged Access

The recent cyber attack on Los Angeles Unified School District is not unique. Public schools and universities are targets for ransomware, that can cripple your infrastructure and expose sensitive data. Not having proper security is a risk you can’t afford. But with tight budgets and limited personnel, finding the right security can be an uphill battle.

While the GDPR and Schrems II mandates accelerated the need for external key management solutions in Europe, it is clear that these needs are expanding to become global requirements. Other countries and even states are jumping into the fray with clear specifications for safeguarding Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

Privacy and compliance are calling the shots on the data protection lifecycle.

On May 2, 2019, the President issued an Executive Order that recognized America’s cybersecurity workforce as a strategic asset that protects the American people, the homeland, and the American way of life. The executive order further recognized the need to enhance workforce mobility to improve cybersecurity and the importance of supporting the development of cybersecurity skills. This webinar will provide insights into the policy established through this executive order, the tasks and deliverables contained within it, and the consultative process to be used to execute recommendations from the 2017 Report to the President on Supporting the Growth and Sustainment of the Nation’s Cybersecurity Workforce.

The Mobile IoT market is set for rapid growth over the coming years and providers are concentrating more on rapid widescale deployment with security often being a later consideration.

In this webinar, MEF Advisor Andrew Parkin-White is joined by two security experts: Ian Smith, IoT Security Lead at the GSMA and Stephen Fitzpatrick, VP IoT at Cellusys.
