Abstract:

During the height of the pandemic, it’s estimated that digital transformation advanced by as much as seven years, opening the door for hybrid and remote working solutions to thrive. But, the increase in remote work also revealed new threats to devices and applications. In this session, we will discuss:
• The post-COVID world and “Zero Trust”
• Trusted software becoming less trustworthy
• The surprising ways ransomware launches
• Identifying Web/SSL VPN vulnerabilities in firewalls
• Application of AI and ML in cybersecurity
• Countermeasures used to combat these issues
