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
