Followed by Curtis Simpson, CISO at Armis and Brad Hollingsworth, Director of Cybersecurity at Mattress Firm discussion, which begins at 19:00 mark of the recording.
When is IoT a four letter word? When it’s IoMT, IIoT, or IoRT? Because these devices often have no security. From manufacturing, to healthcare, to logistics & transportation, to energy and retail – all industries are deploying unmanaged and IoT devices to drive productivity & business performance. In fact, by 2021, 90% of devices will be unmanaged and IoT across virtually every industry. But use of these devices come with challenges – as they have no security and can’t take an agent.
In this session, Brad Hollingsworth, Director of Cybersecurity for Mattress Firm, and Curtis Simpson, CISO of Armis (formerly CISO of Sysco) will share their experiences of working with these devices from the warehouse to corporate offices to retail stores. They share their approaches in developing strategies for identifying and securing these devices, and how to address the real risks that come along with using unmanaged and IoT devices in your business.
