Make decisions at machine speed to combat cyber threats

Author: Canadian Government Executive September 17, 2020 Duration: 22:05

COVID-19 has forced many to work remotely in both government and industry. Given this new norm, we are seeing a refocusing of cybersecurity strategies, massive growth in digital transformation, and the rapid adoption of cloud. 

What are the next steps, some of the challenges and what should we be paying close attention to? In this podcast, we will hear about these issues from Robert J. Carey, Vice President and General Manager for Global Public Sector Solutions at RSA. 

Robert has been working with Sales, Marketing, Engineering, and Operations teams to connect cybersecurity technologies to solve customer transformation challenges in the Global Public Sector. As a recognized leader in enterprise cybersecurity, he engages senior leadership in the public sector around the world to define solutions for them. He is a seasoned public speaker and serves as the RSA senior government executive sponsor with federal and state executives and he represents RSA on Capitol Hill and with Dell Legislative Affairs.

Previously, Robert held positions with General Dynamics Information Technology and the U.S. Department of Defense. He also championed the transformation to the Joint Information Environment for DoD, strengthened cybersecurity, and accelerated mobile solutions for the warfighter.    

The current pandemic has forced a great number of people to work from home and not in their offices rendering a "refocus" of cybersecurity strategies for both government and industry alike. Hear more about these strategies on how to significantly reduce threats, command and control networks, and using tools to make decisions at machine speed.
