Running a marathon is a long-term commitment — just like continuously protecting your business from cyberattacks. Both require implementing the proper strategies, training, and upkeep to stray away from potential injuries or vulnerabilities that can hinder your end goal.
Wednesday, October 6 2021, Cobalt’s SecTalks security conference will set your security team on track with proven strategies to evolve, improve, and advance to the next level. Security for the long run isn’t a sprint, it’s a steady race. It’s important to focus on how to measure the impact of your programs and how other businesses are learning, collaborating, and applying industry best practices. SecTalks will jump into topics covering communication, business acumen, what workflow changes can increase productivity, and more. And, it all doesn’t just happen overnight — slow and steady wins the security race.
