Cyber Security - Threat Landscape & Regulatory Requirements

Date & Time

Tuesday, Sep 25, 2018 at 09:00 - 13:30

In today’s digital age we must contend with an evolving threat landscape and a multitude of frameworks, regulations and compliance measures. GDPR, PCI DSS, NIS Directive and Cyber Essentials all promote a more comprehensive security posture; but what technical controls and processes do you need in place?

Join Barrier Networks and Symantec for a morning of cyber security discussion on how to stay ahead of today’s evolving threat landscape and to learn how you can meet your regulatory requirements.

Learn how to protect your endpoint from known and unknown threats and how to stay ahead of attackers. Since WannaCry and Petya took the world by storm in May of 2017, defending laptops, desktops and IT assets from ransomware has become critically important for companies.

Learn why an effective and comprehensive patch management strategy is an essential part of securing and protecting your organisation – especially now that regulatory compliance enforces better control and oversight of your software and devices.

Discover why protecting data will help you meet your GDPR compliance objectives – a few months on from GDPR 80% of organisations still feel inadequately prepared. Symantec Data Loss Prevention can discover, monitor and protect sensitive data wherever it is used; in the office, on the road or in the cloud.

This event is suitable for IT and Security Professionals in the Public, Private and Third Sector in Scotland.
