Executives: Overcoming the CyberSecurity Poverty Line
Robert Wagner
Abstract:
This talk will provide insight on why smaller companies struggle with security costs and offer strategies to overcome these challenges.
Importance: Smaller organizations are struggling when it comes to cyber security. They strive to balance between the need to drive digital innovation with the cost of potential cyber threats and data breaches, while also streamlining costs and processes. This is a difficult feat, especially when there are so many challenges that prevent smaller companies from accessing affordable security software.
