As part of the Executive Connections program, you will join an interactive and engaging case study as MGM Resorts International's Rosalia Hajek, Business Information Security Officer, shares an in-depth overview of her company's challenges in tackling its security touchpoint scheme. Roll up your sleeves as we dissect this case study and identify relevant considerations about managing a role-based access control strategy.

With the complexity of the digital work environment, impacted by the breathtaking advancements of technology and distributed work, a core challenge is providing secure access to employees and customers. This complexity is especially true for MGM Resorts International, operating twenty-one resort locations and various business subsidiaries. To address the service and support needs of a large international, diverse, and distributed environment and reduce vulnerabilities, they reduced the complexity of their access challenge by tackling their security touchpoint scheme.

This is a unique opportunity to dig into a global market leader’s real challenges and advance your leadership thinking about how to tackle complexity and rollout new strategies effectively.
