In April and May 2017, the IT Forum launched our Functional Collaborative on Security. About 50 CISOs and Security Directors came together in the past few months to discuss and seek advice about shared security challenges. From the hundreds of conversations across these two months, a common list of challenges began to take shape.
To help our full membership benefit from the Functional Collaborative on Security's thought-provoking discussions, we compiled the top 10 emerging security leader challenges. Schools can use these "up-at-night" issues to identify emerging concerns on their campus and articulate to outside stakeholders potential areas for IT investment.
