The Co-Evolution of the CISO and Homo Digitalis

No ratings

Presented at CISOdallas 2016 by

The next stage in humankind’s evolution is homo digitalis, or digital human. Our environment has become increasingly digitized, and we must adapt. Marc Andreessen, venture capitalist, co-founder of Netscape and emerging “voice” of Silicon Valley says the “White Hats” of security will always be on the defensive in relation to the “Black Hats.” Headlines in the British newspaper The Guardian recently proclaimed “we’re screwed” when it comes to information security. The evolved CISO must accelerate digital common sense in a multi-generational, globalized, hyper socialized, time-squeezed workforce and simultaneously deploy prophylactic tools to protect critical information. This interactive session will explore the big ideas of security, inventory at-work frameworks and forecast how the CISO role will evolve.
