This presentation explores what true resilience looks like in practice and how well-designed Cyber Incident Response\, Business Continuity\, and Disaster Recovery Plans must enable organizations to continue to operate when systems\, data\, and communications are disrupted. \n\nSpeaker: Jessica Nemmers\, CISO\, Flair Data Systems \nJessica Nemmers is the Chief Information Security Officer and Field CISO at Flair Data Systems\, based in Plano\, Texas. In her position\, Jessica serves as a trusted advisor to organizations in multiple industries\, guiding them on all aspects of cybersecurity; from building protection and resiliency strategies to implementing controls that meet compliance requirements. \nWith 30 years in IT and Cybersecurity\, Jessica’s passion for security took root working with the datacenter operations team at Perot Systems (now NTT Data). She later became the first CISO at Commercial Metals Company (now CMC)\, where she built a cybersecurity program from the ground up. She went on to serve as Chief Security Officer in the financial sector at Elevate Credit\, further solidifying her expertise in cyber risk management. As a board member and seasoned security leader\, Jessica collaborates with executives and boards to bridge the gap between cybersecurity and business strategy\, ensuring informed decision-making around cyber program investments. \nJessica is a co-author of The CISO Mentor\, written to educate and support the next generation of cybersecurity leaders. Jessica has been recognized as a trailblazer for women in technology by the Dallas Business Journal and named among the “Dallas 500” most powerful business leaders in North Texas by D Magazine.
