CIOs and CISOs find themselves in a challenging context of budget constraints and increasing demands from the organization. This, combined with an ongoing pressure for greater efficiency, means that IT & security leaders must focus on transparency and communication across the C-suite to better exceed the outcomes from their digital technology investments and drive value. But with the ever-increasing complexity of digital business and AI innovation, scaling governance and enabling consistent ways of working can be tough to deliver. How can CIOs and CISOs better drive an understanding that secure modernization is a shared responsibility? What are the best ways to engage business colleagues in new, agile ways of working and co-deliver initiatives together?
Join your peers to discuss how to drive business value and true collaboration across the organization.

Topic 2: Scaling Governance and Best Practices Through a Shared Responsibility of IT and Security
