Such a cybersecurity perimeter, it turns out, was only an illusion. A far more effective extended-enterprise strategy protects business assets and processes wherever they are -- and wherever they might reach. As businesses align to new approaches such as zero trust and behavior-modeling to secure their data applications, infrastructure, and networks, there’s a new, rapidly expanding digital domain that needs such pervasive and innovative protection. The next BriefingsDirect security trends discussion explores how application programming interfaces ( APIs ), microservices , and cloud-native computing form a new frontier for cybersecurity vulnerabilities -- as well as opportunities for innovative defenses and resilience.

As the threats from runaway ransomware attacks and state-sponsored backdoor access to networks deepen, too many businesses have a false sense of quick recovery using traditional business continuity and backup measures. That’s because the criminals are increasingly compromising vulnerable backup systems and data first -- before they attack. As a result, visions of flipping a switch to get back to a ready state may be a dangerous illusion that keeps leaders under a false sense of business as usual. The next BriefingsDirect security strategies discussion explores new ways of protecting backups first and foremost so that cyber recovery becomes an indispensable tool in any IT and business security arsenal. We will now uncover how Unisys and Dell Technologies are elevating what was data redundancy to protect against natural disasters into something much more ...

While there are many successful aspects to the home-exodus experiment, as with all disruption to human behavior, there are also some significant and highly personal downsides. The next BriefingsDirect work-from-home strategies discussion explores the current state of employee well-being and examines how new pressures and complexity from distance working may need new forms of employer support, too.

For IT technology providers, the timing of the news couldn’t be better.
