Breaches – The Human Costs to CISOs and Security Teams

 Over the last 20 years, CISO’s and their security teams have had to deal with increases in regulations, standards, threat actors, vulnerabilities, exploits, risks and pressure from their boards to ensure protection against breaches. That same period has seen an increase in threat actors as well as advancements in their techniques.

The onslaught of breaches through ransomware or other tools leaves CISOs and their security teams stressed and burnt-out. This has been evidenced both by some of the most experienced CISO’s leaving the profession, as well as incident response teams losing any resemblance of a work life balance.

Join our chair Sarb Sembhi, Paul Simms and your security peers at this Executive Breakfast Briefing and explore the real impact of breaches on CISOs and their security teams, with the cost to an organisation going far beyond the cost of any ransom demand.
