  • This event has passed so registration is closed.

Overview

By 2021, up to 90% of devices in businesses will be unmanaged – unprotected and un-agentable. Businesses of every segment face this tsunami of new, connected devices. Beyond the traditional laptops and desktops we may use at work, these new smart devices run our operations, manage building automation systems, drive our manufacturing lines, or track and deliver healthcare to patients. Even during the current pandemic, companies are applying these devices in new ways. From contact tracing in hospitals, to cleaning robots in warehouses. These devices are essentially the new endpoint with operating systems, an application, and connect to enterprise networks – even the Internet. But what they are missing is security. This requires a whole new playbook to mitigate security risk and protect the business. How do your security controls stack up in this world of unmanaged devices?

 

Join Armis’ CISO Curtis Simpson and VP of Product Marketing Christopher Dobrec as they discuss the reality facing businesses with the proliferation of these unmanaged and IoT devices and how to apply agentless device security controls to meet this security challenge.
