It’s no secret that IT has evolved and, as a result, so has our approach to cybersecurity. For example, focus has shifted from a purely preventative strategy to one that seeks to reduce the time to detect and mitigate a security incident. However, one thing that hasn’t received a lot of attention is our concept of the endpoint. The endpoint is no longer just the hardware devices connecting to the network, but the applications that users leverage to work with your organisation. By Chad McDonald, VP of Customer Experience at Arxan Technologies.

Read MoreTechnology is one of the few things in life we expect to just work. This is especially true when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI), which is a driving force behind today’s digital transformation. According to recent KPMG research, enterprises will spend an estimated £177 billion on intelligent automation technologies by 2025, with 49% of companies putting it to use in just three years. And that’s for good reason. By Ryan Lester, Director of Customer Engagement Technologies at LogMeIn.

Read MoreOut of all the IT security risks we face, mobile devices are the hardest to defend from cyber attacks, according to a 2018 cybersecurity report. This is not surprising as they have unique vulnerabilities that nefarious parties can exploit. Some examples of malicious tactics include spoofing free Wi-Fi in order to steal data and credentials from off-site employees, creating phony apps for smartphones, and even physically stealing a device as a whole. By Anurag Kahol, CTO at Bitglass.

Read MoreThe technology industry is renowned for its relentless pace and rewards for first mover advantage. As such, it’s no surprise to see new IoT products constantly being designed, manufactured and released as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, this rush to market often means security is little more than an afterthought, resulting in IoT products that at best, contain half-planned security measures and at worst, are a major liability to any network they connect to. By David Fearne, Global Practice Leader for Data Intelligence, Arrow ECS.
