Recorded on May 11, 2022

We participated in an episode of the Archive360 podcast, discussing all things data security for 2022 and beyond:

In our latest episode Michael Sampson, Senior Analyst, Osterman Industry Research discusses the recently published Zero Trust white paper. This podcast will cover the differences in infrastructure security and data security which have been brought to the forefront over the last several years due to the rise in cyber attacks, ransomware and the newer more dangerous extortion wear variants. In this episode we also discuss the effects that COVID-19 has had on much of the remove workforce with less secure technology capabilities than in-person offices.

Modern networks are complex, sprawling… and growing. They include a mixture of legacy on-premises network solutions like routers and switches; security solutions like SIEMs, firewalls and EDRs; and a growing set of cloud services that enable applications, security capabilities and storage of sensitive network data assets. These networks must work in concert, have extraordinarily high availability, provide very high performance, and enable users to do their job efficiently and effectively.

Even though we are in the midst of a pandemic situation in which most employees are now suddenly working from home, none of that changes. In fact, things have gotten worse: bad actors are now trying even harder to infiltrate your network and steal your data. Changes are being made so quickly that things can easily break. Regulators still require you to protect sensitive data like PII and PHI. Your IT and security functions must still provide 24/7 secure access to critical business data so that employees can remain productive.

Join us for this replay of a live webinar held on May 12, 2020 where we talked about the critical issues network managers need to address to gain visibility into their network operations in order to optimize and secure their network traffic. We focused on how you address drastic changes to network usage and adapt as quickly as possible, without running into a brick wall.

During this webinar, speakers Michael Osterman, Principal Analyst of Osterman Research and Bassam Khan, Gigamon’s VP of Product and Technical Marketing, shared their insights, discussed brand new Osterman Research data on how organizations are adapting to the new work-from-home phenomenon, addressed questions, and provided practical, real-world solutions you can put into practice today.

The use of Zoom and other videoconferencing and collaboration technologies have exploded in response to the new work-from-home paradigm resulting from the COVID-19 crisis. However, there are security problem associated with these technologies that could put corporate data at risk.

Join us for this discussion with Robert Fleming of Blacksquare Technologies as he shares his insights about Zoom security, password management, encryption and other issues.

Executive Summary

The COVID-19 pandemic has had profound and unprecedented impacts on a global scale. The most common response of governments to the pandemic has been to implement “social distancing”, “stay-at-home”, “shelter-in-place” or similar types of edicts, which have forced millions of businesses to shut down their normal operations. Those that can continue operating have been suddenly forced into a situation in which employees and contractors are now working from home or other remote locations for an indeterminate period, causing IT, security, compliance and other staffers to scramble to accommodate a very different workplace paradigm.

To understand the impact of governmental requirements to shut down normal business operations, Osterman Research conducted an in-depth survey of more than 400 IT decision-makers and influencers, primarily in the United States. This report presents the results of that research and offers best practice guidance around what decision-makers may want to consider as they navigate the current crisis and plan for future eventualities. It’s important to note that while the topic of this paper relates to the current pandemic, the advice offered herein will be useful to decision-makers and influencers who must plan for future crises, whether limited in scope to a particular region after an earthquake or hurricane, for example, or to another global event.

How are bad actors exploiting the COVID-19 crisis through the use of innovative techniques and in the sheer volume of the threats they’re sending? What are some new ways that cyber criminals are taking advantage of this crisis? What might we expect to see over the next couple of months and how can we prepare for them?

Join us for this discussion with Stu Sjouwerman, CEO of KnowBe4 as we explore these and other questions about dealing with human security during times of crisis.

How are organizations dealing with a partner network distributed around the world and a customer base in 140+ countries? How are they dealing with managing an internal workforce, while at the same time helping partners, customers and prospects?

Join us for this discussion with Kevin Beatty, Vice President at MDaemon Technologies, on the challenges that MDaemon and their partners are having in dealing with the new realities of the “from home” global workforce.
