As organizations continue to adjust their infrastructure to support remote or modified workflows, security has become a priority. In many cases, organizations do not have the right security skill-sets in order to ensure that the appropriate changes are applied to identify potential risks to their network, users or data. Compounded with this is the talent shortage which has grown to 3.5 million open security positions globally.

Historically, Managed Security Services have been seen as complicated, expensive and out of reach for many organizations. Today’s managed services have adapted to suit requirements from Managed Detection and Response to full SOC-as-a-Service. Join us on Thursday June 18th at 2PM ET for an interactive panel discussion about the cyber skills gap and how Managed Security Services can help address your current situation. 

What you’ll learn:
  • How security skills gap and lack of security resources in the market are affecting organizations
  • How cybercriminals are exploiting remote working and changing tactics to target organizations
  • Insight into current struggles faced by security analysts
  • How solutions such as Managed Detection and Response and SOC-as-a-Service can help reduce risk
  • Managed Services Adoption Best Practices
