TOPIC: Security Then vs. Now: How Cybersecurity Has Changed in Just Five Years
Cybersecurity has undergone a dramatic transformation. Five years ago, the focus was on protecting networks and devices. Today, security is centered on identity, data, resilience, and business risk. With the rise of cloud computing, remote work, AI-powered threats, and Zero Trust architectures, organizations must rethink how they defend against modern attacks.
Join us as we explore how the security landscape has evolved, what today's threats demand from security teams, and the key strategies organizations are using to stay ahead in an increasingly complex digital world.
Key Takeaways:
From perimeter security to Zero Trust
Why identity is the new security boundary
The impact of AI on attackers and defenders
How security became a boardroom priority
Building cyber resilience for the future
A timely discussion for security professionals, IT leaders, and anyone navigating today's evolving threat landscape.
Video conferencing starts at 8 AM!
