Evaluating The Risks, a Panel Moderated by Mr. Thornton May
Knowing then leads to assessing, as well as convincing. How do you assess your level of risk in your organizations, and how do you then plan and prioritize the attack? In addition to mitigating risk from the outside, how do you keep an eye on your employees……the enemy within? How do you also muster internal executive and cultural support for what may be a resulting massive (and costly) change? Top tier CIOs share their perspectives.
