In this Digital CIO Summit moment, excerpted from the online event that took place from April 4-6, Lookout Chief Strategy Officer Aaron Cockerill shares his thoughts on security and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. The roundtable discussion on “Cybersecurity From the Endpoint to the Cloud” also featured practitioner-analysts Rob Wood, Wayne Sadin, and Acceleration Economy CEO and co-founder John Siefert.
Highlights
0:05 — Collaboration is coming today through myriad SaaS applications, like Slack and Teams. New applications are popping up every day.
0:45 — The challenge becomes that, to implement all of a CEO’s policies, CISOs will need experts in every single one of those SaaS applications. And there’s already a massive shortage of cybersecurity professionals.
01:14 — That’s just untenable. DLP (data loss prevention) can be applied. It helps remove the burden of needing to have a deep understanding of every single SaaS application and allows for uniform application of the policies that the CEO seeks to implement.
