Digital Workplace - What the Stakes Hold?

Last years have already shown us changes towards a digital workplace. The current pandemic situation has accelerated this change drastically, however. This will have lasting effects on our daily working routine challenging former workplaces, business-processes, and structures alike. The classic office-workplace will however not disappear due to a pandemic period, as crucial aspects of our society and urban landscapes are in fact build around our daily commute to the office, coming back home in the evening. Now, it is up to us to achieve a lasting change towards a digital workplace finding the right balance between the digital and the classic workplace.

Shifting Challenges & New Opportunities

Digital transformation accelerated from 36 months down to just three weeks for many organizations. CDM Media's J.D. Miller dissects the moving target of digital transformation and the top challenges (and opportunities) tech executives are facing. Using learnings from over 200 digital events and having CIOs and CISOs spend over half-a-million minutes with him this year, J.D. will outline what to expect in the rest of 2021 and beyond.

This session will answer the following questions and much more:

• How will IT and security departments position themselves for success post-pandemic?
• How will tech leaders bridge the skill gap?
• What will that mean for the future of your workforce?

Strengthening our Cybersecurity Posture

At Schneider Electric, cybersecurity is a core, central pillar of our business. Our Cybersecurity Posture includes several aspects such as securing internal and external activities, protecting strategic IT systems and assets, leading digital transformation of energy management and designing new products and solutions with end-to-end cybersecure protection. From our offices, to manufacturing plants, to our customer engagements, we have applied cybersecurity best practices everywhere. Of course, we are also learning from incidents. Because digitization has accelerated, we are more and more connected and an attack can easily move from a company to another. Among other processes and tools, cyber crisis simulations can help us to anticipate our risks and to walk the talk on our cyber kill chain. Do not hesitate to join me to take it further, together at the next level and build a more cyber resilient world!

Digitalisation Transformation -

In 2019, data breaches endured yet again as the largest security threat noted by organizations and IT security professionals alike. If data remains as a high valued commodity, ensuring data privacy and securing personal data will continue to be at the top of the list of an organization's concerns. The increases in privacy legislation, such as GDPR and CCPA, and the understanding of the ramifications stemming from a breach have allowed these concerns to remain heavily in the spotlight. Web application flaws have been identified as the top cause of data breaches. As such, establishing and maintaining web application security has developed into a high priority for all organizations.

Takeaways;

• Data breaches are the biggest security concern
• Data continues to be a high value asset but the need to protect it is even higher
• New laws like GDPR and CCPA enforce consequences for failing to secure data

Private 4G/5G Networks for Verticals

Converged mobile private networks for operational and business-critical communications are now mandatory to keep pace with the global digitization of vertical sectors. Private 4G is a real breakthrough and a necessary first step before the 5G revolution and the generalization of IOT for verticals on their operational site (airports, train stations, ports, mines, etc). 

It is today's new challenge for verticals to be able to provide the best connectivity (adapted coverage, bandwidth, latency, independence from climatic hazards or events that saturate (strikes, attacks) public networks with the best SLAs to be as aligned as possible with business needs. 

The interconnection between public and private networks is also a new challenge, ultimately to adapt telecommunications networks to the needs of businesses and not the other way around. Industry 4.0 or other innovation topics (IIOT) must start today with POCs to prepare the deployment, the choice of application and data solutions, but also the choice of connectivity (private, public or both).
