2212 - Lessons Learned by a Global Chief Information Security Officer

Wednesday, September 27
8:00 AM - 8:50 AM

The modern-age CISO is confronted with a dizzying array of complex forces, each challenging the viability and resiliency of his or her organization’s asset protection strategy. Attackers are increasingly sophisticated and resourced. Breach fatigue has eroded stakeholders’ confidence in corporations’ ability to shield their sensitive information from unauthorized access and use. Budgets are strained by globalization, regulation and competition. And, the talent pool of qualified information security professionals lags behind the growing demand.

For CISOs to be successful, they must earn and maintain the respect of the organization. Key attributes that a competent CISO must possess:

  • Alignment – business strategy, risk management, compliance, asset protection
  • Balance – business, technical and personal skills
  • Communication – education, negotiation, motivation, influence

    Learning Objectives:

    • Understand the concept of a business-aligned information security program and identify steps to improve the business alignment within an organization.
    • Develop a plan to strengthen leadership attributes required of today’s CISO in earning and maintaining credibility with business counterparts and executive leadership.
    • Learn techniques and methodologies for improving communication skills for educating, motivating, influencing and negotiating with business and executive stakeholders.
