SCSIM Spring Forum
Cybersecurity Leadership: It is Beyond Technology
May 30, 2019, 3:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Long Beach Marriott
The rapidly escalating number of data security breaches has made Cybersecurity a source of frustration for executives and government officials who spend an inordinate amount of time and energy trying to protect their organizations’ data from sophisticated phishing schemes, ransomware, and state-sponsored hacking. Cybersecurity issues, however, are not purely a technology problem—they are multi-headed hydras that need to be addressed with a multi-disciplinary approach.
Invite your non-technical peers to join you at this timely SCSIM Spring Forum and hear from our speakers as they illustrate how getting ahead of hackers and building a resilient cybersecurity culture inside enterprises requires the active engagement of non-technical management, and a multi-disciplinary approach to shape an organization’s Cybersecurity stance.
The program begins at 3PM on May 30th, 2019, with a networking reception, and concludes with dinner at 7PM.
Thank you to our sponsor:
