In a time where digital transformation drives business growth, Chief Information Officers (CIOs) stand at the forefront, balancing the push for advanced technology with the need to manage the risks these innovations bring. Understanding the difference between security and risk is essential yet deeply intertwined within a solid cybersecurity framework.
