Webcast: How to Mitigate Outsourcing-Related Security Risks

Overview:

Outsourcing is growing in popularity due to the efficiencies and cost savings that many businesses achieve through the practice. What's often overlooked, however, is the fact that any outsourcing arrangement carries with it a separate set of security risks that must be properly managed, in addition to managing the security of internal networks. Without this holistic approach, an organization's overall security posture is at risk.

Check out this TechRepublic Webcast, sponsored by Core Security and now available on demand. It features independent cybersecurity analyst Tom Kellermann, who discusses the practice of outsourcing and its ramifications for network security. Kellermann offers expert insights into these important topics and more:
