PodChats for FutureCIO: Remote work's impact on security and network performance

The recent Cybersecurity Strategy 2021 announcement recognised the need for a ‘’zero-trust’’ mind-set approach to protect organisations from new technological exploits and malicious actors. This couldn’t be timelier – the supply-chain and ransomware attacks over the past year on JBS, SolarWinds, the Australian Parliament and AXA highlighted that we’re now in a cyber pandemic, and existing cybersecurity management strategies are not effective enough for the new normal.In this episode of PodChats for FutureCIO, we are joined by Prasad Mandava, MD India, VP of Engineering at Akamai, to discuss how the WFH or remote work model is impacting the security and performance of networks.1.       How would you describe cybersecurity management prior to and during the pandemic?2.       With the shift to the WFH model, how well do you think APAC organisations have been doing in countering cyberthreats that have risen in response? 3.       How should organisations adapt their cybersecurity management strategy for the new normal? 4.       How difficult do you think it would be for APAC businesses to transition? How can organisations adopt this effectively? 5.       How can the CIO/CISO sell the need for these security measures to the CEO/CFO and the Board? How do I sell an ROI/TCO story for this zero trust?6.       2022 is coming. What should the CISO and the CIO be doing to get their security frameworks up to par with current conditions?
