My Session at Economic Times–Microsoft Security 360 Conclave

ETCISO.in and Microsoft organized a one-day conclave to enable CISOs enhance their security stance in the era of flux and transformation. The conclave served as a platform for top CISOs and security experts to deliberate on the latest opportunities, challenges and trends in the enterprise cybersecurity space.

It was really speaking at this event on “ Top Security Myth busters” which was all about various myths within the security community and in organizations for their internal cyber security and compare them with things happening in reality. This session also had some demos on some of Microsoft’s investments in threat detection capabilities and remediation accross Email Security, Endpoint Security and Identity protection.

If you happened to attend this event in person,  I really hope you liked it.

If you couldn’t attend it in person, the sessions were streamed LIVE and now available On-Demand below.

My Session starts at ~ 4:28:00
