We therefore put organizational structure and processes in place to build, run and act securely. In this session, hear from Jay Thoden van Velzen how this works in practice, ranging from risk management through the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, security policies and governance, and 3rd party audits.

As processes become more streamlined and work becomes more effective and productive, our reliance on technology has increased to the point where it is part of our daily lives.
