A few quotes from my keynote at SecureWorld Boston

Following the outstanding SecureWorld Boston event, my friends at SecureWorld shared Highlights and Insights from SecureWorld Boston 2023 and were kind enough to include a few quotes from my lunch keynote — let me know what you think and please offer your perspective on these ideas:

The final keynote session was given by Shawn Tuma, Co-Chair of the Data Privacy & Cybersecurity Practice at Spencer Fane LLP. Tuma’s session was titled Cybersecurity Is a Team Sport!  and he discussed why teams, strategies, and processes are essential for managing your organization’s cyber risk.

Here are a couple quotes from the session that Tuma hopes the audience was able to take away:

  • “It takes a team of many different stakeholders within and outside of the organization, working together as a team, to effectively manage cyber risk.”
  • “Reasonable cybersecurity is a process, not a  definition; it includes understanding your risks, prioritizing your efforts, and executing your priorities in a systematic manner.”
  • “Winning is withstanding the attacks so your company can stay focused on its primary mission. Winning comes from preparation, resilience, and continuously learning and adapting.”

For my friends in the Houston area, get ready, I will be headed your way next!

  • On May 17 and 18, for SecureWorld Houston, I will be doing the full day workshop on Real-World Cyber Risk Management and Resilience Planning and speaking on Cybersecurity Really Is a Team Sport.

I hope to see you at one of these awesome events — please let me know if you are going to be there!
