TEEX Cyber Readiness Summit

In today's digital landscape, cybersecurity has become a top priority.  The growing frequency and sophistication of cyber threats, such as ransomware attacks, data breaches, and phishing schemes, present significant challenges. These incidents not only threaten sensitive data, undermine public trust and monetary loss but potentially can threaten public safety and infrastructure.

Critical to combat these ever-increasing risks, having the knowledge and the skill to clearly articulate and defend cybersecurity needs by building solid business cases in this session we will focus on:

Assessing and prioritizing Vulnerabilities and Potential Consequences: This involves identifying critical assets, assessing current security measures, and modeling the consequences of an incident—both immediate and long-term.

Understanding and Prioritizing Purchasing Criteria: When selecting cybersecurity solutions, decision-makers should align their criteria with the organization's unique needs.

Review an example of Business case framework: Demonstrating the return on investment or risk avoidance is crucial to gaining stakeholder approval. A strong business case quantifies the financial benefits of preventing costly incidents, minimizing downtime, and complying with regulatory requirements.
