Cybersecurity is essential to online privacy, but too often the two are placed into conflict with one another. The CIS Controls, a prioritized list of essential actions an organization can take to protect their networks, has emerged as a leading cybersecurity approach. To date, the CIS Controls have been downloaded more than 75,000 times. They are available as a free download at https://www.cisecurity.org/controls/.

Panelists at the June 28 event will explore how organizations can ensure that implementation of security guidelines such as the CIS Controls will respect privacy concerns.
