Public Sector Tech Talk E33: The Impact of End-to-End Network Visibility on Cybersecurity

Now that organizations and employees have proven their capabilities to run and work remotely thanks to technology, our reliance on this technology and our willingness to test out new and emerging forms of it will continue to accelerate. But this relationship between humans and technology is not seamless. Companies need to protect themselves from troubleshooting, malware, and several other unknowns. With the return to office and hybrid work schedules a reality for most companies, there is a new list of threats to consider. And when making those considerations, it remains true that you can't protect and defend what you cannot see. On this Public Sector Tech Talk episode, we will establish a basis for what visibility should look like through the lens of cybersecurity and discuss how to mitigate IT risks, while keeping data protected and enhancing performance across any device or network.
