Steve Hoffman, FoundersSpace Chairman and CEO, kicked off the CLOUDSEC @govware, hosted by Trend Micro, with his keynote on “Protecting the Workforce of Tomorrow with Human-Centric Cyber Security”.
Synopsis
Protecting the Workforce of Tomorrow and the Future of Cyber Security
SYNOPSIS: A growing number of employees today, especially knowledge and information workers, don’t come into the office. They work from home, co-working spaces, and Airbnbs. Many insist on using personal devices and ignore company security protocols. At the same time, cyber security threats are increasing, as billions of new smart devices and apps enter our work spaces, homes, and public spaces. In this talk, we explore the present and future challenges that face cyber security.
