Security

As any thorough security assessment can tell you, every infrastructure is vulnerable to cyberthreats. In the face of growing phishing and ransomware attacks, IT leaders must look to advanced anti-malware protection and cloud security measures to guard sensitive corporate data. Next-generation firewalls — many of which feature built-in intrusion prevention system (IPS) technology — allow organizations to analyze network traffic and detect and block vulnerability exploits. Identity and access management (IAM) products and single sign-on (SSO) technology can then go beyond traditional password security to centralize authentication and authorization. Hear from CDW cybersecurity experts as they discuss these protections and others, and explore the benefits of a holistic security approach.
