CISO Hot Topics — Security's Expanding Role in Response & Recovery
As the global technology landscape continues to become more interconnected, CISOs are constantly finding themselves working more cross-functionally with other business units and taking on new responsibilities.
This is not only evident when an organization experiences a security incident, but also during non-security events like a large-scale technology outage or natural disaster — both of which Houston and the surrounding areas have seen multiple of this year.
Join this interactive session to connect with your peers on questions like:
- What is security's role during non-security incidents like an IT outage or disaster?
- How is the increasing frequency of these types of events changing how you approach the idea of cyber resiliency?
- It's not if, but when: What have you learned or changed to ensure your organization is better prepared for the next event?
