The daily onslaught of cyberattacks not only increases business risk, but also puts a company’s most important data at risk – data on the company, its employees, customers, and partners. Now, more than ever, the CISO is being asked to understand the business of cyber without being given much time to implement plans for protecting an organization’s infrastructure. There is a balance needed between being a technical and business leader, and Jim can share stories from his successful career to enlighten listeners.
