While innovation is essential for businesses to survive and thrive, the rapid acceleration of digital transformation has increased the volume and complexity of new cybersecurity risks. It is not a matter of “if” but “when” a breach will occur.

Although prevention plays a role in data protection, it’s simply not enough. CISOs preventing cyberattacks can be compared to that of catching lightning in a bottle, meaning it is nearly impossible to accomplish. Organizations must put in place an effective response plan so when an attack happens, they will be able to identify and contain the security breach and minimize risk to avoid as much damage as possible.

Join this panel of cybersecurity experts to discuss the evolving threat landscape, the role of CISOs in risk management, how to minimize risk exposure by building a defensible position that allows for effective detection and containment of a breach and how to test the readiness of your organization if a breach occurs.
