In today's sophisticated threat landscape, data is both a valuable asset and a potential liability to the business. Rapid advancements and adoption of new technologies, increases in data complexity, and expanding regulatory oversight all pose significant challenges for security leaders. However, as the landscape evolves, so does the opportunity for CISOs to securely enable the business.

The spotlight is now on CISOs to vigilantly measure and communicate the risks and value associated with data, implement appropriate DLP measures, and establish data security as a shared business responsibility.

A New Era of Data Governance:
• How have advancements and adoption of Generative AI and ML tools impacted your data governance strategies?
• How do you leverage data security and governance as a business differentiator and value-driver?
• What are proven strategies for implementing DLP measures to mitigate risk and ensure regulatory compliance?

The Risk vs. Value Balancing Act:
• What factors do you consider when balancing the risk and value of data within an organization?
• How do you demonstrate data security as a business priority, not just a technology priority within your organization?
• Limited cross-functional collaboration is a common barrier to realizing value from data. What strategies can CISOs employ to foster a security-centric culture within their organizations?
