Proactive CISO Strategies for Cyber Risk Mitigation and National Resilience
Our research with Government CISOs and security leaders highlights a critical business imperative: managing cybersecurity is not just a technical necessity but a strategic imperative for national stability and citizen trust. These leaders are at the forefront of this journey, balancing robust security measures with the need to maintain regulatory compliance and agile incident response. They grapple with a multitude of challenges, from integrating new technologies securely and managing evolving threats and vulnerabilities, to preparing for the inevitability of cyberattacks – all with the aim of protecting national and citizen interests.
The CyberGov Leaders Summit is the annual event for Aotearoa New Zealand's public sector cybersecurity leaders and vendors to address these challenges in the next 12 months.
The 2024 Summit will focus on how Government CISOs and security leaders drive proactive security measures, compliance standards, and incident readiness to mitigate evolving cyber threats, reflecting the critical challenges and opportunities in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape.
