About The Event

COVID-19 has required us to reimagine everything – how we work, play, connect with family and friends, and much more. We need to reimagine what all of these fundamental activities – activities that define us – will look once it’s safe to return to the office.

In the meantime, how do CISOs measure the impact the coronavirus has had on our lives and our jobs? How has working from home affected an organization’s ability to protect its employees, customers, and intellectual property? How has it challenged employers and employees to address stress, mental health, and a work/life balance? How has it impacted every woman’s ability to fight for a “seat at the table?”

Join us as top female cybersecurity leaders discuss the challenges they’ve faced during the pandemic and how they’re applying lessons learned to cybersecurity, work, the economy, families, mental health, and more.

Key takeaways:

• Reimagine security contributing revenue to your organization
• Reimagine security pivoting to focus on enablement so the business emerges stronger post pandemic
• Reimagine working from home where a work/life balance is achievable and sustainable
• Reimagine a more expansive CISO role in a post-pandemic world
• Reimagine earning (or keeping) a seat at the table, driving real change in your business and career
• Reimagine the infosec career to be more inclusive and empowering of minorities like women and people of color
