Embracing Cybersecurity Regulations
Fortinet News, Friday, December 13th, 2024
Cybersecurity regulations often burden organizations, requiring significant resources and adjustments to align with compliance frameworks. However, Jorge Fernandes, CISO & DPO for the Portuguese Securities & Exchange Commission (CMVM), offers a compelling counterpoint. Drawing from his dual perspective as a regulator and a regulated entity, Jorge sees regulations as a strategic opportunity to strengthen the resilience of individual organizations and entire industries.
In a recent Brass Tacks conversation with Fortinet, Jorge emphasized the importance of collaboration, transparency, and communication in navigating the evolving regulatory landscape. Of note is that Jorge shared his views in the podcast conversation and did not represent CMVM.
By shifting perceptions of regulations from an obstacle to an enabler, organizations can unlock new opportunities to enhance their cybersecurity posture, manage risks more efficiently, and build stronger partnerships with regulatory bodies.
