CISO is what C-Level executive position? It is the Chief Information Security Officer. To a CISO/Director of Information Security, handling computer viruses and patching is like ‘brushing and flossing’. You need to do this daily to maintain basic security hygiene. However with the continuous evolving cyber-attacks, these activities are just the tip of the iceberg.

Everyone is familiar with hackers attacking a company’s computer system.
Imagine getting your car hacked into? Or perhaps your TV? Who is behind the attacks and what are their motives?

Join us as we explore how cyber threats and attacks have evolved. Learn about the numerous and complex threats for the ‘Internet of Things”. Once you know about various hacks/threats/attacks/espionage, learn what the industry is doing to prevent intrusion along with industry legislative initiatives.
