Spotlight on cyber security Spotlight on cyber security

Has cyber security in its current form failed? Most information security leaders agree that traditional methods, on their own, aren’t working in the face of the increasing number and severity of threats.

So what are the new and likely future threats? How can cyber security be fixed? Is your infosec team suffering from breach fatigue and, if so, what tools can you put in place to help them?

iTnews will provide some answers to these questions in our Spotlight on cyber security, coinciding with the Australian Information Security Association’s national conference on 18-20 October.

This Spotlight is supported by RSA.
