--- Abstract ---

The Board of Directors and the C Suite of corporations across the globe are increasingly focused on strengthening risk management with a real time concern of experiencing a cybersecurity event. Cost is multidimensional:
• Brand damage - company and customer
• Individual impact - breaches and data escapes hurt individuals
• Damage confidence - impacting revenue, stock, adoption and growth
• Breach cost - average cost up to $3.92 million; most expensive in US is $8.19 million
• Halt business until the risk is contained - Spectre and Meltdown ransomware
• Create BOD and leadership turnover - rocking business continuity
• Lose top talent - blocker to attract and retain top talent

As a result, CISOs are being asked to drive strategy amid increasing complexity and expanding attack surface brought on by 1) lightning-fast change, 2) digital transformations, 3) complex networks connecting a global ecosystem, 4) relentless zero-day vulnerabilities and patching, and 5) updates to and emergence of new regulations.

We believe that the role of the CISO is transforming from “doing the basics” with the least amount of money to a critical, influential role leading virtually all facets of an organization's information risk management strategy. Join us to discuss the emerging role of the CISO and the extended security team, the importance of translating security risk into business impacts, and how the business is partnering with the CISO/security team in pursuit of risk prevention and on-going protection.
