CISOs on the Hot Seat— A New Era of Liability
As cybersecurity attacks increase in sophistication, the financial and reputational impact for companies has never been more pronounced. CISOs responsible for navigating a company through a data breach, the stakes are even higher. CISOs confront significant personal civil and criminal liability in connection with their handling of breaches and associated disclosures. This raises serious concerns not only for CISOs, but also for companies’ abilities to secure expert personnel to safeguard their data and systems.

The Paradox of Third-Party Risks

The "good" side represents potential benefits, access to specialized expertise and cost savings, while the "bad" side signifies increased risk of disruptions, data breaches, or reputational damage due to reliance on an external entity you can't fully control. Join this session to learn from CISOs Scott Moser & Robert Pace as they square off on third-party risk.
