TUESDAY 10 A.M. –11:30 A.M. REPORTING CRITICAL INFORMATION SECURITY AREAS UPSTREAM

One of the most critical aspects of any Information Security Program is communication and sharing information. This is especially true with executives and Boards of Director, who need education and information on all aspects of information security so they can ask better questions and make appropriate decisions. If the top level of the institution better understands the risks and the impact potential, it will help build a stronger information security culture throughout the institution.
