Smarter Cybersecurity 

 

 

 

Join the Latest Fireside Chat in Our Cybersecurity Series

and Learn New Solutions

 

 

Do you sometimes feel the whole subject of cybersecurity is overly daunting? Take a breather and enjoy a helpful fireside chat to learn helpful approaches for the future.

 

Harold Moss, CEO of Tautuk and guest speaker for the Boardwise Board Certification Program and Brian Barnier, faculty for the Boardwise program, discuss ideas in a fireside chat about smart ways to address challenges to creating effective cybersecurity. Learn how to find root causes of incidents before incidents occur to avoid issues.  

 

Some challenges are overcome by fixing structural flaws in cybersecurity math and methods.  For example, learn the value of improving dependency analysis. Other challenges are overcome with organizational change leadership – for individuals, diverse high-performing teams and more broadly. To overcome the complications of a siloed discipline like cybersecurity, it is vital to build teams of active learners who understand creative and critical thinking.

 

Enjoy the chat with Harold and Brian.
