Today’s CEO needs a weekly cyber briefing, but not about technology, about risk. Moreover, the CEO, a high value target for Threat Actors, needs to collaborate with the department of the CISO, highlighting business risks often overlooked by technologists; for example, an IR Plan including a public statement to shareholders if the company is hacked. “$1 spent on readiness, saves $7 on disaster recovery” according to the UN. Typically, CEOs have strong financial backgrounds. Many are CAs & have MBAs, providing them a firm understanding of financial vernacular. Technologists share a love of numbers with accountants, but when it comes to preventing attacks by humans, albeit through computers, it’s necessary to apply strategic thinking to our reports vs. presenting the numbers.In this session, delegates will understand the strategic convergence of business & technology collaboration, specific to a case study of a hack, through cellular, into an IoT device, then East/West into the Corporate network & how this could have been avoided with executive focus on assets & business-related threat vectors unnoticed by I.T., resulting a relevant weekly report that mutually benefits both the CISO & CEO.
