Seccom Global's customers are sometimes getting set on a particular technology without clearly articulating their organisations’ desired outcomes. Anita Sheridan-Roddick, Group Sales Manager at the managed security services provider, says that this leads to a misalignment of expectations and misunderstandings about what a particular solution can realistically achieve. In this edition of ADAPT’s The Next Conversation, Sheridan-Roddick also says #cybersecurity conversations with customers have shifted from basic security measures to more sophisticated and proactive #riskmanagement strategies, particularly in the wake of highly publicised attacks in Australia.
