Cybersecurity teams are generating more data than ever—but turning that data into meaningful, business-aligned decisions remains a challenge. As organizations face increasing pressure from boards, regulators, and evolving threats, the need for a more continuous and intelligent approach to cyber risk management has never been greater.
In this conversation, Jerry Layden, CEO of CyberSaint, Fabio Campos, Global Managing Partner, IBM Cyber Strategy & Risk, and Mark Hughes, Global Managing Partner, Cybersecurity Services at IBM, explore how organizations are rethinking cyber risk through automation, real-time data, and AI-driven insights. Together, they discuss the shift from static assessments to continuous risk visibility, how security and business leaders can better align on priorities, and what it takes to operationalize cyber risk in ways that drive measurable outcomes.
