Sponsored Insight: Rethinking Security for Agile Businesses
COVID-19 brought two seemingly opposing words together: “security” and “business agility”. In addition to the expanded threat surface due to remote working, the surge in cloud-based offerings also exposed new security gaps and exposed them to opportunistic threat actors. This fireside chat will explore new tactics, strategies, and solutions that help shape cloud-native security.
