Prioritizing for Success in Today's Complex Security Environment
Hosted by Qualys
At the end of the day, the CISO’s job is to identify and categorize technology risks, prioritize those risks based on the potential harm to the organization, and treat risks such that agreed upon tolerance levels are met. While this sounds simple, in practice, it is extremely challenging to maintain the maturity levels across the required people, processes, and technologies to manage risks across a large enterprise. This has put the modern day CISO in a difficult spot in which they have to focus so much on this hierarchy of needs when they’d prefer to spend it on execution.

- The intake of ever increasing challenges of adopting technologies such as AI, public clouds and IoT
