Gul and two other industry leaders were part of a program titled “Who Reports to Whom? An Effective Corporate Structure for Your CPO and CISO.” The speakers covered benefits and downsides of different corporate reporting structures for the security and privacy legal teams within midsize and large companies and the potential future of these structures as privacy and cybersecurity become more entwined.
