It was a great event. It allowed CIOs and IT Heads to hear perspectives from CISOs who spoke. In today’s time, with digitization all around, there is a tremendous amount of valuable data getting generated. While the focus is on the usage of data for better customer experience, data integrity becomes the crux of all data operations. Hence, the need for security of data is more than ever before. That’s why the role of CISO is extremely important to handle this critical side of data operation. Data security is not just a technical matter now but has ramifications on business, risk, operations and legal affairs of a company.
