Data breaches are on the rise, to the point where they are unfortunately becoming a business inevitability. Indeed, in a 2019 IDG study, over half of CIOs and CISOs agreed with this statement.
Cyberattack methods continue to evolve – making it almost impossible for security leaders to stay on top of, while the current global COVID-19 crisis has introduced new risks, vulnerabilities and challenges for CISOs and their already-overstretched security teams.
In this webcast, we discuss how security models are changing, how legacy tools are being left behind, and why automated endpoint defenses are the way forward in a world where cybercrime is expected to cost businesses $6 trillion annually by 2021.
Tune in to hear Roger Sels, VP of solutions for BlackBerry in EMEA, and CIO contributing editor Doug Drinkwater discuss:
- How a changing threat landscape is pushing CISOs and their teams to the brink
- Why the focus must now be on endpoint protection
- What security advances in AI and ML mean for CIOs and CISO
- How Blackberry can help CISOs protect their business, streamline security and take advantage of advances in AI.
