Cybercriminals are doing it so why aren’t you? In a time where cybercriminals willingly share their information amongst their communities to spread harm and destruction, proactive intelligence-sharing across enterprise organisations is vital for evolving herd immunity against attackers.
CIOs & CISOs must come together with a common desire for collaboration to improve security posture and incident response across the sector. Leading by example, a panel of forward-thinking IT & Security experts will discuss why unifying intelligence, people and technology is the foundation for future cybersecurity.
In this keynote you'll learn more about:
- Global insights into cybersecurity, threats and risk
- How CIOs & CISOs across the world can work together to protect their organisations from threats and their people from burnout
- Becoming a leader in fighting cybercrime
