Since the onset of COVID-19, the attacks on data, hacking and ransomware that enterprises are experiencing have drastically grown and changed in their severity.

Join us on November 18th as we discuss these vulnerabilities and hear from CISOs on their strategies for mitigating risks.

Panelists:

  • Ben AgnerDirector of Global Security Portfolio Management, Aflac
  • Rick DotenCISO, Carolina Complete Health, and VP of Information Security, Centene Corporation
  • Mike Privette, Managing Partner, Fraction Consulting and CISO of national financial institution

Facilitator:

  • Brian Rossmeisl, Senior Consultant, AccessIT Group

"The pandemic has shone a light on the resilience of our businesses as companies struggle to pull together a country-level approach that links together cybersecurity, technology resilience, people, supply chain and property issues - while also focusing on what really matters to the business -- critical assets and services." ** Working with increased vigilance, and understanding how to mitigate risks in this climate of uncertainty is of the utmost importance. 

As IT budgets decline and security needs morph, C-Suite Tech leaders will need to address the 5 layers of priority: Leadership, Culture, People, Process, and Infrastructure. Panelists will discuss:

  • Looking at how COVID-19 has affected the way business leaders treat cybersecurity
  • Responding to increased security threats to a primarily remote workforce
  • Addressing increased vulnerabilities to phishing and other email-based threats
  • Balancing a need for more robust cybersecurity despite shrinking IT budgets

  

With an increased remote workforce, cybercriminals have found new opportunities to launch unprecedented campaigns.
