CISOs wear a variety of hats and specific responsibilities depend on the size and type of organization. In addition to being responsible for information security for their organization, a CISO must understand the overarching vision and strategy. Compliance is a key element of the position, as is understanding risk management. In the past few years, the role has shifted significantly from one traditionally focused on “information” and “protection” to one that is dedicated to managing risks to value generation.

In every industry around the world, the past year has seen organizations adjust to challenges, pursue new business opportunities, and accelerate their digital capabilities in the face of the pandemic that has reshaped our world.

Organizations that had already begun their digital transformation journey felt better equipped to respond to rapid and unpredictable change.

And as organizations adopt the cloud, they quickly find that static security processes cannot keep up with the pace of change in cloud platforms, the threat environment, and the evolution of security technologies. Security must shift to a continuously evolving approach to match pace with this change that will transform organizational culture and daily processes throughout the organization.

Join Microsoft & industry leaders in this interactive session to discuss the evolving security roles and how the Microsoft Cloud could help organizations and security professionals meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world and seize on new opportunities to grow and thrive.
