Cloud Security Maturity and the Need for Proactive and Reactive Approaches

So, what is the right approach?

The answer is both. But which approach should be the focus today depends on the enterprise’s security maturity.

In this session, we will discuss:

  • What cloud security maturity is and the path to achieving it;
  • Creating an effective security backstop with cloud detection and response;
  • How reactive security should be an enabler for proactive security.

Adapting to Enhanced SEC Scrutiny: Strategies for CISOs Post-SolarWinds

This year, the SEC significantly ratcheted up the pressure on public companies – and CISOs. In July, the SEC adopted new rules giving the government more avenues to second-guess good-faith cybersecurity disclosure decisions. Then, in November, the SEC sued SolarWinds and its CISO for fraud, marking the start of a new era in cybersecurity enforcement.
 
In this discussion, our esteemed panel will provide an inside perspective on SEC risk – and mitigation – for CISOs and other security professionals in the wake of SolarWinds ruling, including:
  • How the SEC approached cybersecurity cases before SolarWinds ruling, and the new rules 
  • How SolarWinds ruling and the new rules are likely to influence future SEC enforcement activities
  • Lessons for CISOs from the SolarWinds ruling
  • How CISOs can navigate an enhanced role in the disclosure process
  • Key indemnification and insurance considerations
