In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the role of the Chief Information Security Officer is more crucial than ever. However, creating security programs that align with IT operations and business objectives remains a significant challenge. The mission for today’s CISO - build security that IT (and the business) loves. It is a top security priority for CISOs to foster a collaborative environment where security is seen not as a hindrance, but as an enabler of business agility and innovation.
In this exclusive dinner hosted by Akamai, the conversation will be driven around strategies that modern CISOs can employ to implement security measures that not only protect the organization but are also embraced by IT departments and business stakeholders. It is time for CISOs and business leaders to bridge the gap between security, technology, and business success.
