How to be the Visionary CISO in the New Economy
200 years ago, every factory had its own power source: a steam engine or a waterwheel, rigged up to drive huge rotating shafts and belts. Today, few businesses would conceive it to be necessary to have their own power generation capability. In the world of IT, cloud service is having a similarly disruptive effect. Cloud services are more flexible and do not require you to employ a team with scarce skills to provide them.
The CISO has become the visionary in the new economy. Cloud computing benefits are driving uptake, but the cyber security risks are different and we need to find new ways to manage them. This presentation provides CISOs with practical advice on how to balance agility, cost and security when building and securing the hybrid, multi-cloud networks, and identifies some systemic risks to keep an eye on.
Discussion points include:
- Cloud security risks are different from other types of cybersecurity risks because cloud is networked, concentrated, and shared. How will adopting cloud services change the way we protect ourselves?
- Responsibility for risk in the cloud is inherently shared between customers and CSPs. How will the role of the CISO evolve?
- When adopting cloud services, how do you balance the velocity of change with security and cost?
ELN Webinars take the form of a fireside chat with limited slides. The event is recorded, and all registrants will automatically be sent a replay link after the webinar has finished.
