“The Cyber Defense Matrix strategy”
This special session will detail out Sounil’s The Cyber Defense Matrix strategy. The matrix categorizes diverse products and services for solving information security challenges. Aligned with NIST’s framework, it simplifies tech choices, covers control gaps, and highlights innovation prospects. It also identifies tech reliance. Adopting the matrix streamlines tech selection, aligns vendors, and ensures essential tools for information security. Sounil Yu, Bank of America’s Chief Security Scientist, leads innovation efforts, reducing risk, and addressing security challenges. Previously, he enhanced security cooperation among Fortune 100 companies and government agencies.
