A thought piece on trends that are occuring at the senior leadership levels of security professionals. Some survey data is refererenced, though it is unclear if a new survey was conducted for some of the trends identified in this report.

SailPoint’s 2018 Market Pulse Survey found amidst all the change the corporate world is experiencing – digital transformation is top of mind for many organizations – the way people approach security has not changed dramatically. People still have bad habits when it comes to both corporate and personal security, and some are even actively fighting against their organization’s IT department in the search for efficiency. Complicating the situation even more is the development of new threat avenues such as software bots. Read on to learn more.

The purpose of this white paper is to better understand the challenges that healthcare organizations face as they attempt to modernize efforts in the areas of data collection and analysis, value-based care strategies, and patient and caregiver engagement. This report will discuss how outdated technology investments hamper these efforts— especially as hospitals and other healthcare providers attempt to partner with fellow provider organizations, health information exchanges (HIEs), and accountable care organizations (ACOs) to fully take advantage of the shift to value-based care reimbursements.

Creating an Authentication Framework: The Future of Authentication Strategy, commissioned by Nok Nok Labs and produced by Aite Group, explores current attitudes and trends in developing an organization-wide consumer authentication strategy.

We are living in a world where breaches of consumer privacy are a regular phenomenon. Breaches, such as the Cambridge Analytica-Facebook snafu and the Google+ leak, have dominated headlines in 2018, exposing the personal information of millions of people and shaking our trust in big brands. Many consumers are making drastic changes to the way they interact with brands online, and they believe businesses need to take ultimate responsibility for protecting their data. Ping Identity surveyed more than 3,000 consumers across the U.S., UK, France and Germany to examine consumer attitudes in a post-breach era to help businesses maintain trust and stay ahead of their customers’ expectations.

Almost every individual and every business now has a cyberpresence that needs to be secured. Digital transformation has also created a growing supply of security targets in the form of information-rich storehouses of data. Identity and access management (IAM) platforms offer one way to tackle this problem. IAM platforms provide a set of solutions to identify users and control their access within an IT environment. However, modern identity isn’t just about security, privacy, or even convenience. The key value of an identity platform is enablement, in that it allows an organization to securely provide services to end users. It is all “Yes you can … but only you can.”

This report is based on independent research conducted by Smith & Harwood on behalf of Curo Talent®. We started by asking a simple question, “What has been your organisation’s technology focus for 2016?”

To find out how European enterprise customer data leaders are tackling this complex problem, Janrain conducted more than 50 interviews (see appendix 1 for interviewee profile), the findings of which are distilled into this eBook.

For 20 years, leaders have turned to PwC’s Global State of Information Security® Survey (GSISS) as a trusted resource to navigate the cyber risk landscape. Over time, that landscape has evolved to be less about “information security” and more about managing digital risk. As cybersecurity, privacy and data ethics become increasingly intertwined, organizations need a central place to turn for authoritative data and actionable advice. That is why we are rebooting GSISS to create Digital Trust Insights. This new platform will explore how to build confidence in the readiness of people, processes and technologies to meet tomorrow’s challenges.

Historically, the annual Most Wired research has focused on measuring adoption of healthcare information technology to highlight those organizations with the broadest, deepest IT infrastructure. With the ever-growing need to improve healthcare, the research now adds a new emphasis on measuring key areas that can help advance the industry as well as on gathering information about organizations’ technology strategies (which include not just technology adoption but also the refinement of processes and the development of people). With this new focus, this year’s research and future Most Wired research can help identify gaps in healthcare organizations’ technology adoption and strategies and highlight areas in which the industry has opportunities to make progress.

This report outlines key findings from the 2017 KPMG/Forbes Insights CyberSecurity Survey of 100 senior executives from the healthcare field. [One-hundred senior life sciences executives were surveyed as well.] The findings indicate that companies are elevating cyber security to a strategic imperative but at a pace that lags behind their desire to adopt digital technologies to drive innovation. To illustrate, we take a look at the current and desired states of cyber security in healthcare through the lenses of data sharing, vendor management, and medical device implementation. We conclude with our guidance on where organizations should be focusing their efforts.
