Description: In this episode, we delve into the evolving landscape of public sector security, particularly regarding the protection of critical infrastructure. We'll unpack the three key challenges in Sec Ops and discuss the significant impacts of skills shortages, offering realistic solutions for organisations. We also explore the risks around visibility across the estate, breach response preparation, offset options for smaller public sector organisations, and advice for protecting endpoint devices amidst remote working. Lastly, we'll provide tips on leveraging existing infrastructure.
Run Time: 32:11
Speakers: Simon Driscoll & Jan Bervar
Description: With traditional preventative methods increasingly being bypassed by modern threats, we take a look at how Managed Detection & Response can take a proactive approach to reducing your cyber risk. We’ll examine the decisions that need to be made when choosing between these approaches, and discuss how important response times are in a world where organisations typically measure responses in weeks and months, while bad actors work on a timescale of hours. With organisations themselves only identifying roughly one in three breaches, can MDR effectively plug this detection hole? Our security experts will cover exactly how MDR is placed to solve these challenges, and provide advice on how it can support an organisation’s compliance obligations.
Run Time: 26:36
Speakers: Peter Jones & Ben Simpson
Description: Zero Trust is becoming a core pillar of cyber security for many organisations – and with good reason. We break down the concept into its simplest parts, and step through exactly how it differs from the more traditional approaches that came before it. We’ll review how its adoption in the public sector has helped protect critical systems and data, as well as how it can help insulate organisations from risks such as those posed by third-party suppliers and endpoint devices. We take a high-level view of how to get started with Zero Trust, before ending on the potential user impacts that implementation can have, and how to mitigate any suboptimal user experiences.
