A key step, she says, is ranking the risks posed by vulnerabilities so the organization can prioritize "where we're going to spend our energies and our money in terms of the fix, the remediation."

In a video interview with Information Security Media Group as part of the CyberEdBoard's ongoing Profiles in Leadership series, Haworth discusses:

  • The unique cybersecurity threats facing the publishing industry and how to prepare for them;
  • Securing the global supply chain with effective vendor due diligence;
  • The importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
