From a management perspective, what are the changes in the environment surrounding security professionals and their new responsibilities?
Due to changes in the global competitive environment and the advancement of digital transformation, the roles of corporate security personnel, especially those in the IT department, are undergoing major changes.
In this session, we will discuss what CIOs and other executives expect from security departments as digitalization brings about major changes in business and IT strategies, and how their roles are changing.
The panelists will then consider, based on their own real-life experiences, how each individual security professional should approach security duties that are becoming increasingly important.FUJIFILM Corporation

Becoming a Shield to Protect Business Growth: Security Challenges in Sync with Business Strategy
In today's world where business growth is accelerating, security must shift from "defense" to "offense."
