IoT is the set of technologies and practices designed to allow things – from FitBits and Google Home devices to corporate systems like asset trackers and badge readers – to communicate via the Internet. The goal is to enable the tracking, automation and understanding of “things” so that decision makers can gather more information, make better decisions, and control systems and platforms more easily, with more granularity, and at lower cost.

But IoT introduces a new and difficult problem for virtually every organization: a several order of magnitude increase in the things connected to the Internet creates a several order of magnitude increase in the ways that security vulnerabilities can be exploited by cyber criminals.

Join us for this discussion with Robert Fleming of Blacksquare Technologies as we explore issues to consider in the context of securing work-from-home and in-office environments from IoT.

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.
