Mergers and acquisitions unlock growth, but they also magnify cyber risk. A single missed vulnerability or unresolved security gap can derail integration plans, erode enterprise value, and damage customer trust. For security leaders, diligence is critical to ensuring deals close smoothly and deliver their intended value.

In this 30-minute session, Jason James, CIO of Aptos, will share lessons from leading technology and security in retail and healthcare. He will discuss how CISOs can reframe cyber risk as deal risk, and how addressing vulnerabilities early supports smoother transactions and lasting enterprise value.

You will gain insights on how to:

  • Align security planning with business and board priorities during M&A
  • Identify the vulnerabilities most likely to derail integration and enterprise value
  • Ensure gaps are not only discovered, but fixed to build trust and resilience

Join Averlon and Jason James for a candid discussion at the intersection of cybersecurity and business strategy, and learn how fixing what matters can strengthen deals.
