The Centrality of Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is one of the most critical challenges of the digital age.
The global growth of networks and data, fueled by technological
innovation, has enabled society to build prosperity and quality-of-life
improvements. This rapid, sweeping change has also created a long-

public and private sector in working together to prepare for
cyberattacks. An interesting discussion with a great group of experts
and leaders, talking about the risks and what pragmatic actions we
can take as leaders.
