CISO Information Security Workshop Publication
We convened a day-long workshop for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) at Kartause Ittingen in Warth, Switzerland. The topic of the day was cybersecurity. CISOs from industry and government joined with academics from the US and Europe to discuss the threats arising from the external electronic connectivity of the enterprise: What is their nature? What can be done to prevent them? If not prevented, what are best practices in remediation? And long-term, how can companies, governments, law enforcement agencies, and other participants work across company boundaries and across country borders to provide the best security possible for critical data? Participants in the session included private-sector CISOs from ABB, Adidas, Cisco, Daimler, Goldman Sachs, Hilti, Holcim, ING, Nestlé, Nokia, Novartis, Schindler, Swarovski, Swiss Reinsurance Company, and Thomson Reuters. They were joined from the public sector by representatives of the European Commission and the Swiss Confederation.
