Information is the currency in today’s world. Companies are understanding that a new approach is needed when it comes to provide assurance that sensitive data will be protected to fight the threats to cybersecurity. Organizations around the globe are embracing a new vision that will become the foundations for tomorrow. This is the need of a shift in perception. We need to move from Technology Risk to Enterprise Risk. A new beginning. A new dawn. Enterprises are moving from what once was a domain of technology to a new reality; that, at the end of the day, what it really matters is mitigating enterprise risk, the risk appetite of the company as a whole. What it is really important these days is to realize that not only is instrumental to execute correctly, with the proper attitude, with the right mindset, but also to embrace the overarching discipline of Governance, to empower end users while, at the very same time, the assurance of the responsible use of resources is guaranteed.

By attending this session, insights will be gained on how to provide value for the business, through technology, in a changing security landscape. The attendee will be able to discover new angles for engaging with the business and provide communication channels and reporting methods to protect the two most important assets for a company: people and information. Knowledge will be shared in the area of metrics and indicators that provide tangible value, in business terms for the C-level suite. This is the very much needed new dimension. From Technology Risk to Enterprise Risk. A New Beginning.
