Zscaler Podcast: Cybersecurity in the Age of AI: Episode 3: Defend Forward
Businesses no longer want to wait to become victims of an attack or intrusion but are looking for proactive defence models and tools to help them repel attacks and critically recover quickly when an intrusion is successful and breaches their defences.
In this final episode of the series, we are considering the concept of Defend Forward and how your business can benefit from this security initiative.
What does the future of robust, agile, and flexible cybersecurity look like as the threat landscape has evolved? Clearly, AI tools will play their part, but they are just one aspect of a strong security stance all enterprises must now define and maintain.
The idea of a deterrent has been applied to many aspects of digital security. Defend Forward is gaining pace as a practical reaction to the cyber threats all businesses now face.
In this podcast, we uncover the tactics and techniques that can help enterprises defend their digital assets with speed, agility, and precision, from proactive threat hunting and intelligence gathering to offensive countermeasures and rapid response tactics.
