Information Security Forum to Reveal the Top Emerging Security Threats for 2017 in Upcoming Webcast

NEW YORK - Nov. 29, 2016 - PRLog -- According to the Information Security Forum (ISF), the pace and scale of information security threats continues to accelerate, endangering the integrity of trusted organizations. Although cyberspace offers opportunities for leading organisations, this environment is uncertain and potentially dangerous. It is a place where hacktivists and cybercriminals are honing their skills and governments are introducing new regulation and legislation in response to major incidents and public concerns.

Cybercrime typically involves sophisticated, targeted attacks against an organization and additional security measures are required to respond to specific cybercrime-related attacks. Moving forward, organizations of all sizes must put cyber resilience programs in place that anticipate uncertainty  as there is an ever increasing need for a prepared and comprehensive rapid-response capability.

During this webcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, will discuss the rapidly changing threat landscape, identify the key cyber challenges for 2017 and suggest ways of managing the associated risks. He will offer expertise on ways of dealing with these threats and provide insight into how organizations of all sizes can increase their cyber resilience profile.
