Panel debates with CIO Council members and industry leaders
Pandemic crises showed us how week we are against the nature. They showed us again that panic could stress our IT defense systems up to a limit unforeseen into our contingency plans. The New Normal with the Elastic Digital Workplace expanded the surface of the attacks for the cybercriminals. Now we are no longer protecting a clear perimeted of our LAN/WAN but one that is diffuse with no clear boundary. Identity management, VPN controls, social engineering and phishing became our priorities. National critical infrastructures, power grids, medical and financial institutions failed like domino pieces in the last years in a battle with invisible aggressors. COVID is worsening the situation adding some gas on fire. What is the CIOs response?
- Cybersecurity challenges into COVID, post pandemic world and VUCA world
- How to protect national critical infrastructures from cyber attacks?
- Why social engineering still functions? How can we deal with human factors in security?
