The panel discussion focused on improving global cybersecurity and mitigating risks for enterprises. Key points discussed included:
- Continuous monitoring of user behavior and access controls is essential to detect attackers who have been on networks for months undetected. Rigorous detection, containment, and response processes are needed.
- Executive support and cross-departmental incident response processes are required to quickly address security issues.
- The growth of IoT devices introduces new risks if basic security practices from IT are not applied. A new architectural approach is needed for IoT security.
- Increased public-private collaboration and information sharing is important but will not be solved by government alone. Industry can lead through sector-specific partnerships and alliances
