Description

"Never invest in a business you cannot understand" was perhaps one of Warren Buffett's most foundational principles. Those words resonate with Hormel Foods CISO and Director of Security and Compliance, Mike Rogers. While many security executives have made great strides as business enablers, most—if not all—still have a long way to go in effectively translating the complicated, technical, and often confusing world of cybersecurity into the language of business. While many security metrics adequately communicate moment-in-time security status, Rogers will share his perspectives on the massive opportunity that CISOs have to help bring boards and executives along on the security journey to further invest in a business they can understand.
