Beyond cybersecurity: Conversations with global security experts

Information security and data protection leaders call for action

InfoSec panel | Sydney, NSW

As cyber threats escalate, regulations tighten, and digitization accelerates, organizations must rethink their approach to information security. Aligning business and cyber risk strategies is a challenge that all parties must own. Finding a common language within organizations is often the best place to start.

This is the sentiment we heard from a panel of information security and data protection experts at our information security event in Sydney:

• Breaches are inevitable: Leaders need to shift focus beyond deterrence and protection to resilience, rapid response, and recovery in order to thrive.
• Cybersecurity as a business risk: Cybersecurity is not just an IT issue, it’s a core business risk and a strategy that boards and CEOs must own.
• Human element: Most successful attacks exploit human vulnerabilities, highlighting the need for user education. Leaders must ensure employees are digital natives.
