The risk of a cyberbreach is top of mind for boards and executives in most every industry. Breaches are more and more common and costly despite the billions invested in cybersecurity controls every year. The challenge for business leaders is to know how best to prioritize and maximize their investments in cybersecurity. This session will address the importance of becoming a “cyberresilient” business that can minimize disruptions and costs in the event of a breach.

As a result of participating in this event, you should be able to:

• Analyze the business impact and costs of a cyberbreach
• Recognize the difference between cybercompliance and cyberresilience
• Identify how to prioritize where to invest to become cyberresilient
