Budgeting for Cyber Security post-COVID: Three Golden Rules for the C-Suite
JC Gaillard, MD & Founder, Corix Partners, gave a talk on the topic at the Digital Leaders Week 2020 on 14th October 2020.
The COVID crisis is presenting most businesses with unprecedented situations – for good, bad or worse. One thing the pandemic has not pushed off the radar, is cyber security. As a matter of fact, the volume of cyber-attacks increased to “alarming levels” according to Interpol during the heart of the crisis. For businesses now totally dependent on remote working, e-commerce or digital supply chains, a serious security breach is the last thing they want… CEOs, CFOs and CIOs should not jump to ready-made conclusions around cyber security ahead of their next budgeting round.
The talk is focused on three golden rules for them to consider as they plan ahead, and can be found here on our YouTube channel.

The Cyber Security Skills Gap: Real Problem or Self-Inflicted Pain ?
JC Gaillard, MD & Founder, Corix Partners, gave a talk on the topic at the Kuppinger Cole Cyber Security Leadership Summit 2020 on 10th November 2020.
You don’t have to go far these days to find security professionals complaining about skills shortages, and countless media outlets relaying their views. But there are at least two sides to this argument and the situation requires a more balanced approach. The security industry needs to rebuild its narrative to attract more raw talent at all levels.
The talk is focused on the key challenges faced by the security industry in that space, and can be found here on our YouTube channel.

The CISO at the C-Suite

The report, released on 14 December 2020 can be accessed here: It highlights the need for the CISO function to seek to educate, garner and leverage support from the C-Suite and Board levels to drive change across their organisations, as cyber security increasingly underpins and enables business growth across all sectors, and enables the Fourth Industrial Revolution to gather pace.
