Coping with COVID: Security Leadership in Times of Crisis

ON-DEMAND

Lessons from the C-suite to help your organization thrive during and after the pandemic

“There’s always an opportunity with crisis. Just as it forces an individual to look inside himself, it forces a company to reexamine its policies and practices.”

– Judy Smith, attorney, author and advisor to Pres. George H.W. Bush

 

Join four influential executives as they share their stories about security leadership and rising to the occasion to protect organizations in times of crisis. They’ll share the preparations that paid off, the lessons that have been learned so far and the new “muscle memory” being developed today that will make organizations stronger and more secure in the long run. Hear firsthand about hard-won crisis-handling experiences — in their current roles and previously in their varied careers — that are intensely relevant to cybersecurity professionals and executives like yourself, as we struggle with today’s pandemic-related challenges while considering how to best prepare our organizations to thrive in a post-pandemic world.
