Digital transformation has made security and risk top-of-mind issues for CEOs, CIOs and the board. As Security and Risk Leaders, you need to understand their perspective, concerns and expectations. Each year, Gartner asks a broad sampling of top CIOs, CEOs and board members to identify what’s most important to them for the year ahead. This year, for the first time, we’re bringing together more than 1,600 data points from these carefully crafted surveys to present top themes and their implications for security and risk leaders. Using key takeaways from the surveys, this session will outline how aligning security decisions with business goals can have the greatest impact, and approaches to help you develop a roadmap for the next 12 to 36 months. You’ll hear insights that will help you communicate with business leaders, understand their perspective and anticipate their needs.The best way to know what business leaders think about and expect from security is to ask. We did. Come find out what they had to say.

Decisions and disruptions is a tabletop/role-playing game about security. Players are challenged with managing the security of a small utility company: They are given a budget that they can spend among a range of different defensive options. Decisions have to be made, taking into account a number of potential threats, known vulnerabilities of the infrastructure, past and ongoing cyberattacks and budget limitations.
