Moderator: Mark Brown, President at Advisor Armor
Cybersecurity and Cybersecurity Compliance share the same objective (protecting sensitive data from cyber threats), but they aren’t the same thing. They are related but have different focuses. Cybersecurity is about protecting against cyber threats and vulnerabilities, while Cybersecurity Compliance is about meeting specific requirements and standards related to cybersecurity. Join us in this discussion to learn what is required to meet and evidence these compliance standards.
