The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G networks, AI, cloud computing, and industry 4.0 have brought unprecedented levels of connectivity and convenience to our lives. However, they have also created new opportunities for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities and attack connected devices, systems, and networks. This panel will examine how emerging technologies are changing the cybersecurity landscape and the strategies that organizations can adopt to secure their systems as we become more connected.

The role of the CISO is at an inflection point. At last years Cyburgh, we discussed how cybersecurity is a business enabler. Now, well discuss what this means for the role of CISO and how these leaders are staying ahead of the curve. As companies cut budgets and inflation increases, CISOs need to do more with less while keeping up with increasing demands. This panel will delve into how the role of CISO has evolved from overseeing the overall security of an organization's information systems, to acting as an advisor to risk governance and privacy, a partner to legal and compliance, a collaborator with and user of data analytics, product development, and even an enabler of sales and marketing.
