    The business of information security is tough: the bad guys only need to get it right once, while the good guys have to get it right all the time. One hundred percent protection of all endpoints is not possible, and eventually, there will be an infection.

In this Bitdefender-sponsored podcast, IBM Cloud and SaaS Operations Global CISO David Cass talks to Harish Agastya, VP of Enterprise Solutions at Bitdefender, about the challenges in Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR). They explore how EDR is one of many layers of protection and how it works best when it relies on the intelligence of prior layers.   Harish emphasizes how the reduction of noise generated by these often-disparate solutions is crucial and how such solutions need to be available to all players in the market – not just to big organizations with deep pockets.

    Enterprise networks grow more complex by the day. With hundreds to thousands of firewall rules, devices and routers across on-premise and hybrid cloud environments, it is difficult to have visibility into the security policy change process.

In addition, business owners need to have applications provisioned quickly but have little consideration as to the security implications of their requests.

The two also discuss ‘cloud first’ initiatives, resilient networks and the role of the CISO, which Hayslip provides practical guidance on with his book “A CISO Desk Reference Guide: A Practical Guide for CISOs.”
