Zero Trust: CISO Strategies for 2021

What tools does the Chief Information Security Officer need in order to fulfil their destiny as business' next great strategic partner? Global security leaders debate.

In a suddenly remote working environment the CISO has become one of the most valued leaders in the industry. With their expertise in security, risk management and, increasingly, business value, they are well placed to ensure smooth, safe operations despite a disparate workforce. How can they continue doing so? It will require a not-so-simple combination of people, processes and technologies. In this debate on the future of their function, four security leaders focus on the concept of zero trust, how they can utilize it for security and what else is needed to protect and serve their organizations.

Mansi Thapar, Head of Information Security at Jaquar Group, Sumeet Khokhani, CISO of Intas Pharmaceuticals, George Eapen, Group CISO of Petrofac and Nick Savvides, Senior Director of Strategic Business, APAC at Forcepoint, came together at The Studio @ Home for a session moderated by Mark Chillingworth, Senior Content Editor, Financial Times.
