Cybersecurity Mindset - How to Move from Reactive to Proactive David Edwards, SBS Cybersecurity
The responsibility for managing and overseeing any organization today is massive and has evolved greatly over the last ten years to include investments in technology and cybersecurity. The Board of Directors and Senior Management are held accountable to the organization's shareholders, employees, customers, the community they serve, and (in many cases) regulators.
However, while more organizations work hard to be proactive with finances and operations, oversight of technology and cybersecurity tends to yet be very reactive. Funding and resources are typically very limited until an incident occurs that jeopardizes the operations of the business.
This presentation will cover the benefits of moving from a reactive to proactive cybersecurity mindset, including:

Differences between a reactive and proactive cybersecurity mindset
Results of a proactive cybersecurity mindset
Tactical advice for being proactive
Creating a culture of cybersecurity
