Information Security Forum to Examine Cyber Attack Trends Affecting Businesses in Upcoming Webcast

NEW YORK - March 7, 2017 - PRLog -- According to the Information Security Forum (ISF), as the scale and sophistication of cyber attacks increases, organizations of all sizes need to manage risk in ways beyond those traditionally handled by the information security function. When it comes to cyber security, it is now more important than ever for board members and core executives—especially those not directly involved with deploying security programs—to fully participate and contribute on a continuous basis.

In a global enterprise, there are countless elements beyond the C-suite's control and traditional risk management isn't agile enough to deal with the dangers of cyberspace activity. By building on a foundation of preparedness, executives can create cyber resilience by assessing threat vectors from a position of business acceptability and risk profiling. Leading the enterprise to a position of readiness, resilience and responsiveness is the safest way for an organization to secure its mission-critical assets and protect customers, partners and employees.

During this webcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, will offer insights into how security and business teams across the organization can work together to minimize the impact of cyber attacks on shareholder value and business reputation. Covering all the bases—defense, risk management, prevention, detection, remediation, and incident response—is more achievable when leaders contribute from their expertise and use their unique vantage point to help set priorities and keep security efforts aligned with business objectives.
