Overview

Cyber Security is becoming ever more relevant and, to many, more frightening. It seems like every day a thing we have come to rely on for life and business cannot be trusted. In such a fast moving and adversarial environment how can a business survive, let alone thrive? Security, like business, is about more than just technology - and so is governance. Both come down to managing people, resources and risk.

In this discussion, Kate will draw out some lessons and insights from unexpected places to have you thinking about business, cyber security, and diversity in a new light.
