T he security landscape is constantly changing. We looked to three experts to share their perspectives on the current state of cybersecurity, the most significant challenges organizations face today, and what trends are worth watching over the next year.
OUR PANEL OF EXPERTS INCLUDE:
Jeff Holschuh Chief Information Security Officer at Sun Country Airlines
Jeffery Mayger Information Security Principal at Concord
Sam Azzone Senior Security Architect at Concord
How would you describe the general state of cybersecurity today?
Holschuh: Cybersecurity is starting to get the attention it deserves. News headlines are full of companies impacted by breaches or that had their operations disrupted due to an attack. Security companies continue to innovate and routinely surprise me with their new technologies. However, ever-evolving threat actors counter these innovations by finding new ways to exploit vulnerabilities and humans. Security teams must stay updated on current threats and invest in technologies with inputs from many different sources. Azzone: I still see mid-sized businesses in regulated industries and companies in the public eye setting up security programs for the first time. Cybersecurity has been around for nearly two decades in a relatively mature state for government, energy, and other high-value target organizations. However, cybersecurity is still an afterthought for much of the private sector, especially those who don’t handle payment data.
