You’re invited to an exclusive networking experience, courtesy of Chief Wine Officer and technology skills development experts, Pluralsight. As one of only 12 senior BFSI leaders, you’ll hear from Pluralsight’s Principal Security Author, and 25 year veteran of IT operations, cloud, and cybersecurity, Michael Teske. Throughout the evening, Michael will unpack how to align security skills development with crucial business goals. Meanwhile, celebrated wine expert Christy Frank will guide you through a premium wine tasting and competition, with fine wines delivered directly to your door.
Only 33% of organizations have a vision for AI that extends more than twelve months into the future. As the industry races to adapt to ever-changing pressures, the biggest opportunity and asset in protecting your business is not technology, but people. At this unique event, you’ll learn about the widening gap between security skills and business goals, and gain actionable insights into levelling up your team’s ability to plan for the unpredictable. We’ll reveal how global companies like Sage reduced threat reaction time by a staggering 82% while seeing 30× ROI from their skills-strategy investment.
Key discussion points
- Strategic priorities for BFSI protection against emerging AI-enhanced threats
- Building resilient workforces that respond dynamically to evolving risks
- Mitigating security gaps with continuous skill development
