Research shows that 26% of US workers currently work remotely, and there are expected to be 32.3 million American employees working remotely by 2025. To support these workers, organizations are adopting cloud solutions and migrating data to these cloud solutions. However, many businesses lack visibility into who has access to what data and when, especially in these cloud solutions. How should organizations reconcile the disconnect between data access and data security? Mike Scott, CISO at Immuta, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss best practices for moving sensitive data into the cloud, including data access and data security. If you're moving data into the cloud, listen in to learn how best to protect that data.

The SEC's new cyber reporting requirements are forcing organizations to rethink their compliance and risk programs. No longer can compliance and risk be static, point in time assessments. Instead they need to match the speed of security which is dynamic and real-time. Couple the difference in speeds with whistleblowers and attack groups reporting non-compliance with the new SEC rules and organizations find themselves in a regulatory nightmare. Igor Volovich, VP of Compliance Strategy for Cyber Compliance at Qmulos, joins BSW to share his "Notes from the battlefield" on how automation is the only way to effectively converge security, risk, and compliance into a dynamic, real-time discipline.
