Cyber Security Hub APAC Summit Session Highlight
The Evolving Role Of The CISO And Rise Of Digital Risk
Nick Savvides, Strategic Business Director, APAC, Forcepoint
The role of the CISO has changed considerably over time, from the old days of being the niche executive, fulfilling a key but often maligned part of the business, to more recently as a critical business leader.
The last few years have elevated the CISO to be part of the business and a business enabler but that is no longer enough in a Digitally Transformed enterprise. Every aspect of our businesses have been touched by Digital Transformation including cyber-security. It has giving rise to all new cyber-security problems, but also to new business risks. Digital Risk as an adjacency to traditional enterprise risk has developed as practice.
Tomorrow’s CISO’s must understand not just enterprise risk, but digital risk, blending both cyber-security and business priorities, all while effectively integrating into the leadership and operations of the digital business. It is no longer enough to be a business enabler, but a business partner and accelerator of change.
This session examines this change, the future outlook and how to prepare for it.
