Securing an enterprise network in the age of hyperconnectivity is more important than ever before. With the proliferation of devices and the internet of things (IoT), companies need to ensure that their networks are secure from potential cyber-attacks. Every organization aims to build a security plan that outlines the company's security policies, procedures, and guidelines. This plan usually covers all aspects of security, including physical security, network security, and data security. However, understanding security risks stemming from hybrid work environments, and protecting the network, data and other assets, can be extremely challenging for CIOs looking to transform the workplace, digitally. Therefore, it is important to develop the right network security strategy to enable workplace transformation.

Limited, responsed to the concerns raised by the industry leaders.The key points highlighted by the CIOs and digital leaders attending the discussion were as follows:-
- Organizations should monitor the network for unusual activity that may indicate a cyber-attack. By monitoring the network, organizations can detect potential threats early and take steps to address them before they can cause damage. Employees are often the weakest link in network security. Organizations should provide regular training to employees to ensure they understand the company's security policies and procedures and are aware of potential security threats.
- Cloud security: As more organizations move their data and applications to the cloud, there is a growing need for innovative cloud security solutions. Cloud security technologies can include encryption, access control, and monitoring and alerting systems.
- Threat intelligence: Threat intelligence involves gathering and analyzing information about potential threats and attackers. This can help organizations stay ahead of emerging threats and take proactive measures to protect their systems.
