Vancouver Chapter: Future-proofing cyber strategy: A CISO roundtable on resilience, risk, and readiness

Description

Join us for an exclusive CISO roundtable where senior security leaders will engage in a facilitated discussion on the evolving role of cybersecurity in AI transformation. Moderated by Rocco Galletto, BDO’s National and Global Cybersecurity Leader, the session will feature experiential insights and encourage open dialogue among attendees on the challenges and opportunities they’re facing today. 

Drawing from the latest BDO-sponsored IDC cybersecurity survey, conducted across 400 organizations globally, the conversation will explore how security leaders are adapting to rising threats, governance gaps in generative AI, and the persistent disconnect between strategic intent and execution. This roundtable is designed to foster peer exchange, surface actionable insights to strengthen defences and help CISOs align their programs with future business needs. 

Key Takeaways:

• How to embed cybersecurity early in digital transformation initiatives to reduce risk and accelerate  resilience  
• Strategies for evolving cyber programs to meet shifting business and regulatory demands
