For years, the relationship between security leadership and finance has been defined by a fundamental "language barrier." While the CISO talks in vulnerabilities and threat vectors, the CFO thinks in terms of ROI, capital allocation, and fiscal resilience. This session moves beyond the myth that "security is too expensive" to address the real issue: a lack of shared vocabulary.

Join a veteran CISO and a seasoned CFO for a candid conversation on how to align technical requirements with business objectives.

Attendees will learn how to transform security metrics into financial risk data that commands boardroom respect and secures long-term investment. The problem isn't the budget; it's the dictionary.

Attendees are eligible to receive 1 CPE credit.
