Session: Cyber Security as a business-enabler
Cyber Security – From the ‘House of NO’ to ‘YES’
This session examines how an effective cyber security function has needed to transition from the gatekeeper to an enabler. Security is no longer the reason why initiatives are not progressed, but a vehicle to promote digital transformation.
Learning outcomes:
- Learn that the modern cyber security function is a consultancy service
- Understand that security controls are guard rails not stage gates
- Understand that security controls are an enabler for business initiatives
