Critical Strategies for Cybersecurity in 2022 (According to Experts from Microsoft and Relativity)

“Oh the incidents that we will have,” Amanda Fennell—Relativity’s CSO and CIO—said during Relativity Fest 2021.

During the session, Amanda hosted a Security Sandbox-style conversation with some of Microsoft Federal’s army of cybersecurity experts: Jason Payne, CTO; Steve Faehl, Security CTO; and Jay Bhalodia, managing director of customer success in security and identity.

The group discussed what it takes to modernize systems and optimize for security (because they aren’t always one in the same), how a zero trust model can help build the best possible defenses for your organization, why offloading your risk to cloud providers should be a no-brainer, and more.

In the end, Amanda quoted Henry Ford—“If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself”—to sum up why these types of conversations are crucial for teams who want to head into 2022 with their best shot at evading bad actors and keeping their organizations’ most crucial data safe.
