Description
The Growing Dependencies between Desktop Support and Cyber Security Functions
Abstract:
Remember the line, ‘you shall be assimilated?’ Well….these last few years has seen the dependencies between desktop support and cyber security functions become more pronounced and the differences in focus almost disappearing. Hacking, cracking, zero-day exploits, COTS vulnerabilities, and customers ‘just wanting to get their job done’ keep us all gainfully employed.
This BOF session will discuss the growing dependencies between these two functions and the ‘top 10’ cyber concerns and how they impact the desktop, tools, and policies sites are using to combat attacks and keep desktops reasonably safe.
A longer-term, more lasting goal of this BOF session is to establish points of contact to continue to share information, problems, and mitigation strategies among sites, using the synergy of NLIT to build a stronger desktop/cyber environment across the complex.
