RSAC Virtual Seminar: Building Resilient Systems

This half-day virtual seminar will explore the strategic conversations that are critical for leaders to have in order for the business to remain resilient in the event of a security incident or data breach. What challenges are CISOs facing in building out their security strategies from a people, process, and technology standpoint? During the leadership panel, our guests will share their perspectives on how organizations prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents. The panel will be followed by three traditional sessions that provide different approaches on a range of topics related to incident management including prevention and detection strategies as well as managing through and recovering from a crisis.
