The Consciously Secure Leader Virtual Conference
Tuesday, October 20, 2020, 11am – 3pm EST REGISTER NOW!
As a C-level leader, or entrepreneur, it’s scary to think about all of the things that need to happen in a business: strategy, digital transformation, HR, sales, big data, marketing, privacy, compliance, technology, globalism, corporate responsibility, product development, and more.
There are so many responsibilities these days, so much to learn and pivot, particularly in a pandemic environment and economic downturn. It’s all moving so quickly.
It’s no surprise C-level leaders wonder how to manage all of this along with cybersecurity.
The reality is it’s not going to stop. You just have to figure out how you are going to manage through it all.
If this sounds like you, you are in the right place. Join us on October 20th for this conference and learn from forward thinking leaders on the topics of cybersecurity and leading as a C-level leader in the current environment for 2020 and beyond.
As a cybersecurity company, leading in crises is what we do consistently, and at PurePoint International, we are committed to meeting our clients where they are with cybersecurity, privacy, data security consulting. Our clients are innovative, forward-thinking, socially conscious people leading businesses from start-up to $350M in revenue. They are not just concerned about themselves or their businesses, but those they care about and love most in their workplace and community.
The Consciously Secure Leader Series, and our brand Consciously Secure Living, address unique and important concerns raised by members in our PurePoint community to support our leaders where they are and talk about all topics related to safety and security for human beings, and help leaders create inner security so they can create outer security for those they care about most (teams, communities and families).
After nearly ten years, we are excited to host our inaugural The Consciously Secure Leader Virtual Conference on the topics of cybersecurity, information governance, identity access management, racial inclusion, leading as a Deputy CSO in a pandemic environment and leading security as a CEO, or C-level leader, in the complexity of today’s world.
Consciously Secure Leadership Virtual Conference is an extension of our Consciously Secure Leader Series with two tracks:
The Consciously Secure Business (track for B2B and enterprise businesses).
