Recapping the Talking Points
Cutting through the noise, narrowing down the information, and knowing where to start with cybersecurity is one of the most important aspects of a successful business - and also one of the biggest challenges facing business leaders today. Guidance and information on how to navigate the situation are a must-have in order to build a cybersecurity program that ensures business operation efficiency and security.
So what happens if you offload that security to a vendor platform? Don't set it and forget it. While vendor platforms are designed to be secure, there is still a need for business leaders to customize, collaborate and share the responsibility of the security of their data.
