Ensuring business continuity by securing your remote workforce

The traditional on-premises security perimeter has dissolved and legacy security stacks are unable to secure a remote workforce and cloud-hosted applications. Today, the Internet is the new corporate network. How are you making sure that IT administrators have the proper visibility into user activity and can minimise attack surfaces in this cloud-first world? How do you provide users with an optimal experience without the struggle of a traditional VPN approach? How do you scale your security services and detect advanced threats more effectively?

Join Yassin Watlal, manager of System Engineering META, as he offers insights into how CrowdStrike Falcon Host Platform has addressed these issues and helps companies transform their security stacks.

In this session, you will learn:

How the Falcon Host Platform is able to respond to incidents from anywhere and at any time;
How the team gains visibility into endpoints and is able to contain systems outside the corporate network; and
How you can recover your environment from advanced threats and attacks and establish a maximised security posture.
