Together with our panelists, we discussed the following topics
- Current challenges from the point of view of a security manager, as well as suitable measures
- Employee awareness programs, independent audits & pen tests, and strengthening 3rd party risk management (e.g., via purchasing guidelines with security requirements for suppliers) are at the top of the list of “basic measures”.
- “Advanced measures” are currently often about SIEM or managed SOC approaches, as well as other monitoring solutions such as endpoint or network protection & response.
- Finally, we made an excursion into OT and agreed that the relevance of security in this area will increase significantly. However, approaches established in IT such as “Zero Trust” or “Network Access Control” (NAC) still face major hurdles.
