Reinvigorating Cybersecurity Teams – Sara Griffith, Suresh Balasubramanian – BSW #239
The rise in cyberattacks and the switch to remote work has kept security teams busy, but it has also left them isolated by halting their ability to meet with peers and network with industry friends. Suresh Balasubramanian Qualys CMO and Sara Griffith CISO at Euronet Worldwide will discuss the value of in-person cybersecurity events, how attending can reinvigorate teams, the benefits to sharing best practices with peers, and getting up to speed on the latest innovations in cybersecurity through conference presentations.
