Back to Basics — Building Resilient Foundations for the AI Era
The concept of going "back to basics" is not just a slogan, but a strategic imperative. Without adding the right foundations, new technology can add layers without substance. By reinforcing core controls, organizations can regain visibility, reduce risk and ensure optimal resource allocation.
Join this session to learn more about:
- Prioritizing core security and IT fundamentals over new tools
- Strengthening governance and people resources
- Building resilient foundations to support advanced technologies and proactive security in a rapidly evolving landscape
