We are excited to announce that Jaya Srinivasan, Security Business Enabling Manager for the State of Oregon, will share a presentation - "3 things a CISO wishes IT Help Desk professionals knew about Cybersecurity" at our next local chapter meeting on December 3rd. Register now!
Jaya will discuss how the IT Service Desk is at the core of digital transformation in today's interconnected world. Cybersecurity starts at the IT Service Desk, as it is the main interface between IT and the people who are using IT services. But often an effective, efficient service desk is an overlooked asset that supports the greater IT security infrastructure. With thoughtful process and training, each IT Service Desk can be a huge asset to an organization’s high-level cybersecurity strategy to ward off the cyber criminals and protect critical information.
