Description
We are barely halfway through 2021, but every day, a new massive data breach, ransomware attack or supply chain attack makes international headlines. And while calls for increased spending on cybersecurity are aspirationally noble, organizations cannot just press a button and magically secure 100% of their data. There is more nuance than that.
In this presentation, Amir Ofek, CEO of AxoniusX, will take us back in time to show how trends like increased device diversity, a move to the cloud, shift to work from home, and IoT have changed the attack surface.
We will then look at the tools and techniques cybersecurity teams use to stay ahead of evolving risk.
