New Year’s Resolution for 2019: Security must be the top priority for the Board

In the year ahead, organizations must prepare for the unknown so they have the flexibility to endure unexpected and high impact security events.

• The Increased Sophistication of Cybercrime and Ransomware
• The Impact of Legislation
• Smart Devices Challenge Data Integrity
• The Myth of Supply Chain Assurance
