Fireside Chat: Speaking the same language through the CIO and CISO partnership
What were some of the early challenges in aligning your teams, and how did you overcome them?
How do you translate technical or security priorities into business outcomes that resonate with executives and the board?
What advice would you give to CIOs and CISOs who struggle to get leadership buy-in for resilience and risk investment?
