He also discusses the security culture in Latin America,comparing maturity of organizations to those in United States orEurope. We also explore whether attitudes are shifting around cybersecurity in boardrooms. Ryan believes it’s moving in a good direction,but that many companies still treat cyber security as an afterthought,which leads to lower overall budgets and forces security teams tofocus on solutions that are “good enough” or at least allow them to“check the compliance box”.
