Abstract

Every IT security department's job, to protect data, has become more challenging as the security perimeter has dissolved with the adoption of cloud applications. The traditional threat-centric approach is to apply rigid policies to a dynamic environment and decide what is good or bad without context. This black and white approach results in frustrated users and overwhelmed admins. The reality is, everybody operates in the grey. Join us as we discuss a new human-centric approach to security, which considers the context of user behavior and adapts appropriately to help security teams make better decisions. We will explore how an effective data security system should cut through the noise of alerts and provide early warning signals to prevent the loss of important data.
