Data security and IT risk have become some of the most significant issues for both senior management and boards of directors. C-level stake holders concerned with risk mitigation have increased attention to the company’s preparation for and response to cyber threats and often work directly with the company CISO. Corporations require a new breed of security leader, one attuned to strategic issues in addition to countless technology threats. This keynote speech will outline the unique demands faced by CISOs, as boards of directors play a deeper role in IT security matters. Joanne Martin, PhD, IBM Global CISO, will share her own experience, provide insight into IBM's 10 Essential Practices - the basis of IBM's approach to securing itself and now thousands of IBM clients around the world.
