This panel discussion will examine the challenges and opportunities of Cyber Security, Privacy, and Technology in the workplace. Change is hard and preparing for and executing change in the face of a pandemic has truly tested our resolved. It has heightened the use and import of technology while presenting additional challenges. It has pushed us to think beyond the known challenges and opportunities; to explore the unknowns.

With the need to quickly pivot and change business operations from onsite/face-to-face to a virtual environment, IT and HR had to execute a plan for deployment that would be effective and efficient.

For some organizations, this process was relatively seamless; while for others it was painful and extremely costly. Cyber security, privacy, capacity, capability, bandwidth and available resources were considerations in retooling to a predominant virtual operation.

Unanticipated challenges during this process created opportunities for adjustments, adaptations, and enhancements. Additionally, being required to rethink how we execute our daily operations underscored the mission critical aspect of technology and risk management to fulfilling our organization’s mission. The panel will talk about lessons learned and how to capitalize on that knowledge to advance the integration of IT and risk management in our business operations.
