Past ISACA Board Director, Garry Barnes presenting at CeBIT
Sophisticated cyber security defenses are increasingly in high demand as a cyber security attack is now viewed as an inevitability. Additionally massive breaches, such as the WannaCry ransomware attack, highlight the cost to businesses when not adequately prepared.
According to Gartner, by 2019, 40 per cent of large enterprises will require specialised, automated tools to meet regulatory obligations in the event of a serious information security incident. Cybersecurity governance expert and former ISACA board director, Garry Barnes, will be presenting at CeBIT about the business implications and benefits of automated cyber security defenses, including current technology being used and best practice implementation.
