CSO Event: Holistic Security: How to build partnerships that last with cybersecurity

Only 15% of companies have converged their physical and cybersecurity functions and most others don’t intend to do so. Holistic Security provides a practical tool and maturity model to help CSOs and CISOs build flexible and organizational model agnostic partnership. Rachel Briggs of The Clarity Factory, will outline the maturity model, survey data, and describe how CSO Center members can get started in building holistic security.
