Talking to your CEO about Information Security Jon Ramsey, Chief Technology Officer, SecureWorks

Presentation

Legislation such as Gramm-Leach-Bliley and Sarbanes-Oxley has made network security the law of the land, and the risk of cyber-threats grows every day. But many CEOs - though well aware of the need for regulatory compliance - continue to make decisions without considering their impact to network security. As an IT professional, you want your board to see the connection between your network's safety and your bank's profitability and reputation. We'll equip you to do just that. By the end of this session, you'll learn how to answer the three questions your CEO really want answered - without using technical language; utilize reports to tell your story; address compliance issues with expertise and clarity and link security to your bank's vision.
