- Taking ransomware protection to the next level

Do You Speak Risk?
Michael Muha

WorkForce Software
Russ Gordon
Chief Information Security Officer
BorgWarner
Added to the list of bona fides for today’s information security leader is a multilingual mandate for speaking the languages of risk. Business risk, legal risk and more all intertwined with an effective security strategy, yet the owners of each area don't always see eye to eye. Where business units aren't looking at risk the same way, an opportunity opens for malicious actors.
Join this session to discuss:
- Successful examples of cross-functional partnerships in risk management
- Metrics that effectively describe risk within, and outside of, security
- Tips for leveraging risk discussions to gain support for security
