Right now, hackers are targeting your organization. Fight back by learning how CIOs can create a resilient and strong information security foundation.
Defending organizations against hackers and keeping information safe are critical endeavors -- but they aren't easy.
Information security (infosec) has evolved to be one of the most complex aspects of business today and requires a formalized approach. With modern cybersecurity threats seeking greater harm than ever, proper collaboration between IT and infosec leaders and teams is critical.
Looking at the big picture, resilience is key to security. The question is: How can the CIO prepare and help minimize the impact of security events when they occur? Approaching information security in the right way increases the odds of building a strong program infused with resilience. Aiming to stop all successful exploits, especially those related to modern security challenges, such as working from home, ransomware and AI, is both impractical and unreasonable. However, building in controls and resilience to absorb the impact is much more realistic.
