Building cyber resilience requires more than technology. CISO Brandon Wilson explores how organizations can strengthen security through awareness, behavior change, proactive planning and adaptive defenses.
Reactive security is no longer enough to defend against today’s cyberthreats. Organizations need a proactive approach that combines technology, visibility and a security-conscious culture to build lasting resilience. Brandon Wilson, director of IT and CISO at Dunham & Associates and Dunham Trust Company, shares practical strategies for reducing human risk, strengthening security awareness, and developing adaptive defenses that can respond to evolving attack techniques. The discussion highlights the role of behavioral change, tabletop exercises, incident preparedness and AI governance in creating a resilient cybersecurity program.
In this session, you will gain insights into:
- Shifting from alert-driven security operations to adaptive, resilience-focused cyber defense strategies;
- Using awareness, behavioral training and culture change to reduce the risks posed by social engineering and human error;
- Enhancing incident readiness through tabletop exercises, business continuity planning, visibility tools and responsible AI adoption.
