Getting Cyber Right – Towards a Reasonable Level of Care

Nick Holland

Executive Editor, ISMG

Cyber-attacks and data breaches have become a standard business risk. With data breaches seeming to make daily headlines, and hackers developing innovative methods to penetrate cyber defenses, businesses must contemplate what “reasonable” security posture it must implement for WHEN, not IF, a data breach occurs.

However, the industry still needs to have a common definition for ‘reasonable’ to: (1) have an expectation that will build that level of protection and trust in security posture when collectively doing business together, and (2) to demonstrate or prove security risk posture in a dispute resolution (be that in a court of law or otherwise).

What does “reasonable” mean in today’s threat landscape?
What regulatory framework makes the most sense to maintain a “reasonable” degree of protection while not handicapping organizational productivity?

Care to learn more about how to navigate the complex landscape of cyber “reasonability”? Then join ISMG’s Nick Holland for an exclusive roundtable that will draw from the experiences of the attendees, offering insights on how today’s organizations can be prepared to meet the challenges of the inevitable data breach and its aftermath.

Discussion topics will include:
