At today’s Securing the Enterprise Cybersecurity Conference hosted by MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and BT Security in Cambridge, MA, industry experts joined together to discuss the challenges of the changing threat landscape.
Moderator Andy Ellis, CSO, Akamai Technologies, noted that the things attackers do today are not fundamentally different from what they were doing two decades ago. Given that, Ellis asked panel members what advice they would give themselves now after their years of experience in the industry.
