Only a few years ago, IT teams and their security counterparts worked in separate silos. But as organizations face escalating threats and breaches, there is a burning need to converge IT observability and cybersecurity. The single biggest driver of this convergence is the need to share critical data to help security teams improve cyber resilience.
In this PodChats for FutureCIO, Alvin Tan, Singapore-based regional vice president for Tanium, shares his perspectives on the importance of observability as viewed from the lenses of the CIO and CISO. We will also cover approaches IT and security teams need to consider in the race to achieve cyber resilience in the digital economy.
1. Perhaps before we begin our conversation, it is important for our audience to understand where your organisation is coming from. Can you briefly describe for us what is Tanium?
2. What is observability from the perspective of the CIO/CISO as it relates to security? Where do these roles converge (and diverge) on the topic?
3. Define endpoint protection in the context of the hybrid way of work.
4. What is unified endpoint management (UEM), and where does it sit in the technology stack?
5. How does UEM help an organisation meet its resilience goals post-pandemic?
6. What are the proven steps to modernising endpoint management strategies?
7. How effective/reliable is real-time security?
8. Given the evolving nature of threats and the security solutions to tackle these, how can CISOs/CIOs optimise their approaches to security?
