As a vendor, we witness first-hand the tangible effect that best practices like the CIS Controls have on our customers’ network security. From our perspective, it’s easy to see who is on top of their security game … and who could really benefit from the guidance these controls provide. In this discussion, we’ll walk through several of the CIS Controls, review the changes to the new V8,  and provide real-world case studies to illustrate how different security tools and services can work together – sometimes in not-so-obvious ways – to reduce risk, and keep your network safe and secure.

Security practitioners understand the need to implement new controls that help their organizations’ defend against the rising number of attacks and Fifth Generation threats like the SolarWinds Orion supply chain hack. But slowed economic growth and the push to secure systems from sophisticated new threats challenges many companies.

These global market conditions underscore the importance of employing a consolidation strategy with a unified security architecture at its center that protects cloud, networks, endpoints, and mobile devices.

Join Grant Asplund, Growth Technologies Evangelist for Check Point Software Technologies, as he shares the building blocks for putting in place a consolidation strategy that:

• Increases security efficiency with a unified security architecture
  • Improves your organization’s overall threat prevention profile
  • Eliminates complexity caused by managing disparate systems
  • Reduces total cost of ownership

In this session John Wilke will guide you through the advantages of a pre-built identity solution. He will review how identity used to be a cost center and now it is viewed as a business enabler and strategic initiative. He will also help you compare the options when looking to build out a modern identity solution. We look forward to seeing you!

Ransomware attacks are estimated to be occurring every 11 seconds. Their frequency and complexity continue to increase as threat actors double down on ransomware attacks. But why?

Join this session to learn more about:

• The business of ransomware
• The evolving threat landscape
• Ransomware Protection Tactics and Techniques
• Your Security Roadmap for Hybrid and Remote Workers
• Leveraging an EDR with Limited Security Staff

Secure access service edge has quickly emerged as a hot topic in cybersecurity, but what exactly does it mean and why should organizations care?
