Title of Event: Operational Resilience and the 7 Lies in Cyber
Event Summary:
Join Us at Charley’s for an Exclusive Cybersecurity Discussion with G Mark!
Discover how Operational Resilience and the 7 Lies in Cyber can reshape the way we view cybersecurity—not as a cost center, but as a strategic asset that protects business profits.
G Mark will explore the Operational Resilience Framework (ORF) Version 2 by the Global Resilience Federation, guiding us through seven key steps to operational resilience. These include implementing industry-recognized frameworks, defining viable service levels, understanding an organization’s role within the ecosystem, and more.
Additionally, we will debunk seven widespread cybersecurity myths, such as:
🔹 The need for a complete inventory before implementing controls
🔹 Misconceptions about the accuracy of AppSec tools
🔹 The fear of security being perceived solely as a cost center
Additionally, Vectra will have an insightful session you will not want to miss.
Join us for great conversation, valuable insights, and networking opportunities.
