CISOs' Strategies for Managing A Growing Attack Surface
HelpNet Security, Monday, October 14th, 2024
In this Help Net Security interview, Rickard Carlsson, CEO at Detectify, discusses the evolution of attack surface management in the context of remote work and digital transformation.
Carlsson highlights the challenges CISOs face today, including maintaining visibility and managing compliance in an expanding attack surface, all while dealing with limited resources and rising business demands.
With the shift towards remote work and digital transformation, how has the traditional concept of attack surface management evolved? What are the biggest challenges CISOs face today compared to a few years ago?
Organizations should start forgetting about the old perimeter-based approach to security. There is virtually no difference between office work and remote work anymore. There is no inside and outside, just outside. What is to be secured now is a growing, dynamic, and sprawling mess of endpoints, cloud services, and third-party applications that form an external attack surface.
