The end of IT security

We need to improve IT security, while speeding up responsiveness to business demands. All too often, IT Security is viewed as an impediment.

It seems that the extreme choices are to have fluid business operations that are wide open to attack or to have highly secure businesses that are slowed down by the weight of complex security measures.

Forrester’s call for a “Zero Trust” environment will cripple normal business operations unless the ability to permit access to data and systems is automated to a degree where security doesn’t get in the way of business operations and “fluidity”.

As IT professionals, we need to find the middle ground.

1E hosted a webinar, where we discussed:

• How to minimize the cyber security toolkit in your firm while building an effective and efficient level of protection
• The new context created by upcoming GDPR regulations
• The aftermath of the Wannacry outbreak

We were joined by JC Gaillard, Managing Director of Corix Partners, who was listed as one of the top 10 most influential thought leaders on Risk, Regulation and Compliance by Thomson Reuters in April 2017.
