By | Cybersecurity CEO, Herjavec Group (Cyber Security)

Cyber Predictions for the C-Suite to Keep Top of Mind Next Year Los Angeles, Calif. – Dec. 16, 2020 As we close out 2020, it’s no secret that this year has had more than its fair share of challenges. At the onset of the year, we predicted that the top priority for any CISO or CIO will be to manage the risk associated with digital transformation and enhance their security programs in order to keep up with new technological complexity. Looking back, that was an understatement!   This year has upended lives and completely transformed the way businesses and entire workforces operate. I’ve said it before and I will say it again – digital transformation is now a requirement for survival, and the pace of…
