CISO Liability in 2025: Navigating IoT Risk, Regulation, and Accountability
As IoT adoption accelerates across every industry, security leaders are facing a new kind of accountability. From medical devices and industrial sensors to smart building systems, these endpoints are now one of the fastest-growing sources of breaches — and regulators are paying close attention. In 2025, CISOs must prove they have accurate inventories, credible risk insights, and defensible reporting practice. So how do security leaders reduce liability when regulators, attackers, and device sprawl are all moving faster than governance frameworks can keep up? In this expert-led session, Tevora and Somos break down what’s changing across the IoT and OT landscape — and how modern device intelligence is enabling CISOs to demonstrate compliance, strengthen controls, and stay resilient under heightened scrutiny.
Key Takeaways:
- Why 2025 marks a major shift in CISO accountability under SEC, DOJ, and EU oversight
- How IoT/OT vulnerabilities are becoming prime targets for attackers — and regulators
- What “accurate and transparent reporting” now means for cyber governance
- How real-time device intelligence improves visibility, reduces liability, and speeds incident response
- Practical steps enterprises can take to align policies, inventories, and disclosures with new expectations
Whether you’re maturing security governance or preparing for the next regulatory review, this session will help you navigate rising accountability with confidence — and the intelligence to stay ahead.
