As organizations implement their postpandemic work models, hybrid working increasingly becomes an irreversible part of organizational life. CHROs’ greatest concern is how they can maintain their culture without in-person experiences taking place in the organization-controlled spaces they utilized before. The good news is that a strong experience of culture is still possible with hybrid work designs, but it requires leaders to work in mor...

How can you put more time in the day for your organizati...

It must focus, first and foremost, on defense – protecting assets and information – while hostile interests keep finding new ways to launch their attacks, such as the rise of ransomware. Of Gartner's top seven trends in cybersecurity for 2022, a majority of them are about risks and playing defense. To strengthen defenses, the infrastructure law signed by President Biden...

This has significantly increased the attack surface which must be defended. While efforts are continually made to prevent breaches, modern organizations assume breach and seek to minimize breach impacts. Finding innovative, adaptive security measures, like micro-segmentation, is key to ensuring an organiz...
