Abstract

The most important part of the CISO journey is elevating all parts of leadership in business, not only protecting and defending the enterprise. Discussion will be around the various parts of an executive journey in Cyber Security and how CEOs, Venture Capital, Private Equity, etc. truly gain value from a security program.

Connor will break down sample designs of strategy for the room on: CISO’s Brand in the Industry, Executive Reporting, Board Level Governance, Monetization & Career Growth and most importantly – partnership & networking.

These designs will focus on the current macroeconomic climate and are meant to be a provocative way to discuss the least talked about concept in security – how to understand the business of it!
