A survey by Proofpoint found that almost half – 46% – of CSOs and CISOs said that ransomware or other forms of extortion by outsiders represents the biggest cybersecurity threat to them in 2021.
The CISO mandate is, at its core, a risk management mandate. As such, CISOs are always on the lookout for what can affect risks to their organizations, and the trends that shape an ever-evolving operation.
In our March LinkedIn Live session, join guest expert Limor Kessem, Executive Security Advisor at IBM Security, and Morey Haber, CTO/CISO at BeyondTrust who will share their insight around the biggest threats they are witnessing in 2021 including:
1. Ransomware & Cyber Extortion: Our top “Tips for CISOs” to breaking a vicious cycle
2. Cloud Compromise: The evolution of attacks on cloud environments combined with a mostly remote workforce can be a toxic mix. Our experts will touch on how they are dealing and their advice to CISOs on how to better manage cloud risks.
3. Targeted Industries: As COVID response continues to evolve in 2021 our experts will talk about the industries attackers are hitting the hardest, why, and how CISOs can better understand and manage business risk.
