Cybersecurity: This Way There Be Dragons!

The theme for the 2018 Futures Conference held October 25-26 in Boston was “Cybersecurity: This Way There Be Dragons.” Creating a culture of cybersecurity has been a challenge — successfully defending our clients’ data has proven conclusively that cybersecurity is a team sport. There are roles for firm leaders as well as HR, Marketing, Finance, IT — everyone has a stake in cybersecurity and a role to play.
