Most organizations are in the midst of some form of digital innovation (DI) - leveraging technology to achieve specific goals—and ultimately deliver greater value to their customers. But DI also brings disruption. Disruption in the form of an expanded attack surface and the introduction of a more sophisticated threat landscape. Disruption can also lead to increased complexity as organizations try to counter these new threats with a range of new security solutions. Finally, maintaining compliance with relevant industy and regulatory standards such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) becomes even more of a challenge.
However, despite these issues, one key DI has rapidly going mainstream - software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN). Unfortunately, SD-WAN is a prime example of the paradox of DI: a transformative technology that can potentially move the business to the next level, but the expanded attack surface it creates can expose the organization to significant risk. The challenge is how to take advantage of SD-WAN while offsetting the potential disruption than can come with it.
View WhitepaperWhen it comes to endpoint security, CISOs are in a bind. Most assume that endpoints will be compromised at some point, and they are right. In a recent survey of CISOs, 81% reported at least one intrusion in the past year, and 22% had more than five.1 There is little doubt in their minds that traditional antivirus solutions are insufficient to secure endpoints—they need more advanced protection.
First-generation endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions improve endpoint security by offering detection and response capabilities but also inc ...
The number of endpoints connecting to the network is expanding exponentially. These pose serious risk to an enterprise, where a single compromised endpoint can quickly infect an entire network, compromise credentials, and expose critical data to exfiltration by cyberattackers. FortiClient integrates endpoint and network security to improve endpoint security and help organizations reduce their risk exposure by coordinating security and threat intelligence across and between security elements. This seamless integration facilitates transparent vis ...

Cost Savings And Business Benefits Enabled By IBM’s Automation Platform. ...
Thanks to improvements in digital workspace technology over the past several years, distributed workforces—with all their benefits—became an increasingly viable option for businesses. But despite the promise of cost savings, business agility, and employee flexibility, leadership inertia and fears thwarted most widespread attempts at this paradigm shift.
Would employees stay on task outside a physical office space? Would company culture survive? As we’ve come to see, these fears—while understandable—were unwarranted.
With an accelerated cr ...
