Pulling Down the Silos: Protecting Your Company from Cyber Threats
- S01E05
- April 23, 2019
The relationships between departments have evolved immensely over recent years--and they must, thanks in part to the current cybersecurity landscape and new data privacy regulations. The difference is especially apparent when reviewing the old silo mentality that segregated the IT Department from the C-Level, forcing data security decisions to fall squarely on the computer support team's shoulders. On this podcast, our host Robbie Ferguson welcomes ESET Director of Sales and Partner Alliances, James (Jim) Chalmers, to discuss what is needed to truly protect our corporate network these days. You may be surprised to find that the immediate answer is not "more software" or "more expense," but rather involves the utilization of resources that are freely available to you and your staff.
