Apparo’s CIO Insights, a series of five forums, gives local CIOs and other IT professionals exclusive opportunities during the year to hear from leaders in the technology industry around hot topics, business challenges, and solutions and best practices, as well as to network with business partners and peers. “The pandemic has shone a light on the resilience of our businesses as companies struggle to pull together a country-level approach that links together cybersecurity, technology, resilience, people, supply chain and property issues – while also focusing on what really matters to the business — critical assets and services.”* Working with increased vigilance, and understanding how to mitigate risks in this climate of uncertainty is of the utmost importance.
Topic Background: As IT budgets decline and security needs morph, C-Suite Tech leaders will need to address the 5 layers of priority: Leadership, Culture, People, Process, and Infrastructure.
