Design and Implement a Business-Aligned Security Program
Wednesday, August 2, at 1:00 PM ET | 10:00 AM PT
Webinar Summary
Security leaders often tout their choice of technical security framework as the first and most important program decision they make. While the right framework can help you take a snapshot of the maturity of your program and produce a quick strategy and roadmap, it won’t help you align, modernize, or transform your program to meet emerging business requirements.
Join our analysts for this webinar where they will discuss how to:
- Analyze critical design factors to determine and refine the scope of your security program and prioritize core program capabilities.
- Identify program accountabilities, roles, and responsibilities.
- Build an implementation roadmap and ensure its components work together in a systematic way to meet business requirements.
