Corporate networks are constantly bombarded with potential cyberthreats — a successful ransomware attack, for example, could cripple a business, leading to months of recovery. Security leaders share their thoughts on effective cybersecurity including: inter-department collaboration; developing budgets and working with vendors; data privacy compliance; physical and logical security convergence; and effective disaster recovery.
