How CIOs Can Protect the Organization From Evolving Security Threats

CIOs need to act as an executive first and a functional business leader second. One functional area of continued importance with a multitude of challenges is cybersecurity. Increasingly advanced threats continue to emerge from a wider set of global factors. News can rapidly snowball and put an organization, CIO and CISO reputations at risk. Plus, it remains challenging to find and retain critical cybersecurity talent. Furthermore, 44% of C-suites and boards are less confident that their CISOs can deliver on key priorities. This leads to a burning question asked by your CIO peers: How can I protect my organization from constantly increasing and evolving security threats?

In this unique complimentary webinar, part 2 of a 5-part series, a panel of former senior IT executives, now Gartner Executive Partners, will provide practical guidance on how a CIO can think and act like an executive first and functional security leader second. This insight will help you align with the CEO’s and business leaders’ visions of development and operation of technology within all business functions. We’ll address one of the top 5 questions CIOs are asking, which is: How to protect their organization from constantly evolving threats? You’ll gain guidance into how these Executive Partners coach and advise CIOs, like you, on building a security program for today’s evolving threats by outlining the workshops, tools and resources that can help you on your journey. Leave this session with answers to your vital questions, examples of what other CIOs are doing in this space and an inside look at what a Gartner partnership will look like for you and your organization.
