Compliant vs. Secure: A CISO and CEO Discuss How to Manage Real-World Risk

Is your security program just checking a compliance box? While passing audits is essential, "compliant" isn't the same as "secure". It's time to evolve from a reactive exercise into a proactive, strategic function that manages real-world risk and provides a true business advantage.

Watch Sonali Shah, CEO of Cobalt, and Mary Sparks, CISO of SugarCRM, explain how to navigate this journey.


In this session, you will learn how to:
  • Transform penetration testing from a simple compliance task into a strategic tool to find and fix your most critical risks.
  • Embed security into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to catch flaws early and align with development.
  • Use practical levers like budgeting and accountability to create a culture of shared security ownership.
