The workforce is changing. ‘Digital natives’ are beginning their careers. Social media, gaming and apps have shaped their methods of communication and notions of privacy. Technology is intuitive, omnipresent and to a large extent, puts them in control. This is the experience new generations have come to expect.

How does security policy adapt and balance the needs of the 18-80 workforce? How does security support the flexible, on-demand, cloud-based working that characterises the modern organisation?

Join this evening event to explore why the workforce is different, what new behaviours are emerging and how security strategy needs to adapt.
