#sxsw #securein5

As attacks against digital systems evolve, so too are security approaches undergoing several notable paradigm shifts in their defense of the tremendously high-value assets stored in and accessed by these systems. Studies show that as many as 89% of CIOs express confidence in the effectiveness of their security practices, yet those practices often fail to account for evolved, modern adversaries. This proposed main-program presentation will analyze the trends, provide industry context, and outline trending best practices to defend against modern attackers.
