Cybersecurity Isn’t Enough—The Case for Cyber Resilience
Research shows that most organizations devote the bulk of their resources to preventing and detecting cyber threats, rather than on responding and recovering. This imbalance leaves them exposed to the unknown—such as new risks emerging from technologies like generative AI. Today’s digital defense strategy requires a fundamental mindset shift: “Assume a breach will occur and ensure the organization can recover rapidly with minimal disruption.”
The CIO Roundtable is pleased to welcome Dr. Keri Pearlson, Principal Research Scientist at MIT’s Sloan School of Management and former Executive Director of the Cybersecurity at MIT Sloan (CAMS) research consortium. Drawing on her research, Keri will lead an engaging, interactive conversation about the organizational mindset shifts required to navigate the ever-evolving world of cybersecurity. Featured Speaker:
