Preparedness to face challenges of data security:   
In this Covid situation, there were many challenges and one of the main reasons was to first gear ourself to adopt work from home for our own team and then to sell appropriate solutions to the customers, who were thinking to adopt the same.   We not only geared ourselves to work from home but provided the solutions to the customers also to do the same.  Some of the solutions we sold to the customers were Virtual Firewall, Virtual WAF, DLP, SSL-VPN solutions and employee monitoring solutions etc.

The best practices adopted for remote working: 
We have given the choice to our employees to work from home or office without compromising on the operations and security. All the remote devices are secured with end-point solutions fully equipped to handle ransomware attack or in case of total wipe-out or data-loss situation etc. 

Role of CISOs: 
Role of CISo is more important now as working in this new normal situation was also a challenge and how to migrate or adopt secure work from home solutions as to work 100 % from home was a challenge for them also.  The other challenge to CISo is to make sure the data integrity as working from home gives exposure to a lot of threats like data pilferage and ransomware.   In addition to the above they have to monitor the selective manpower in a positive way for the management.   It has a lot of negative / positive side of this depending on the company product and services.
