CISO’s in all industry verticals today are being asked to address their board of directors, and rightly so as cybersecurity should be a top 5 risk in any organization. What do you say? More importantly, what do they want to hear? This presentation leverages an analysis by the presenter of the many ideas promoted by large consulting firms to determine what is important for effective board interaction. 

Communicating with the board is a leadership style that will vary amongst CISOs. The “Style” factor is one of the ‘7-S Framework Applied to Cybersecurity Leadership’ factors (strategy, structure, systems, staff, skills, style, shared values) as detailed in the new book CISO COMPASS: Navigating Cybersecurity Leadership Challenges with Insights from Pioneers available at www.amazon.com/author/toddfitzgerald . This session will explore the Style component for the CISO to develop a successful program.

40 Ways for The CISO to Talk with The Board of Directors

The CISO’s role to protect information assets is critical to the organization and must operate as a business partner. As any good business partner, the CISO must reflect on the past year, examine trends, emerging technologies, organizational maturity and business imperatives to develop appropriate goals for the coming year. Critical to this is understanding the CISO leadership trends and how to be an even more effective CISO in the years ahead. 

This session uses the 7-S framework and examines one key trend in each of the 7 areas that the CISO should be aware of for 2020. The ‘7-S Framework Applied to Cybersecurity Leadership’ factors (strategy, structure, systems, staff, skills, style, shared values) are detailed in the new book CISO COMPASS: Navigating Cybersecurity Leadership Challenges with Insights from Pioneers available at www.amazon.com/author/toddfitzgerald . This session will explore each of these factors and their meaning in 2020 for the CISO to develop a successful program.

The Core Principles for Effective Internal Auditing

Have you noticed lately that your InfoSec team is made up of Gen Xers, Millennials and Baby Boomers? 

Perhaps you’re finding that your co-workers who are in their 50s on up are more collaborative. And those younger are more opinionated, more likely to take risks and make quicker decisions.

Don’t just shake your head yes. 

It’s not enough to simply co-exist with your colleagues, direct reports or managers. Understanding the multi-generational workplace is a critical factor to meet the daily challenges like discovering the weak links in your supply chain or identifying potential data breaches.

Stick around for our continuing CISO Leadership Series featuring Todd Fitzgerald, veteran InfoSec practitioner and CISO, who will debunk misconceptions you may have about generations, explore the commonalities and begin to formulate how you might approach one another to affect a more powerful team. 

No secret sauce. Just common sense.

Yikes! You're Surrounded by a Multi-Generational Workforce

Some folks very successfully use “the dark side of the force” to further InfoSec practices as ethical hackers.

Over the next couple of weeks we’re going to introduce you to our high-profile digital investigators, tell you some of their mind-bending stories and show you why you should carve out time in your calendar for this event.

Their stories are going to reveal what it’s like behind “Darth Vader’s mask”--an exclusive peek inside the mind of an ethical hacker.
The webinar will go live on May 9 at 2 pm EDT. Take action now to register.

White Hat Hackers: Infiltrators for the Good

Technology risk. 

The meaning of those words is broad. 

And means something different to different IT Security folks. 

But there’s one common thread: taking a business-first approach to technology risk. If this is something you’re struggling with, we’d like to have you join us for a live webinar on April 30 at 2:00pm EDT with Norman Marks leading the discussion.

Technology risk must be an ongoing business conversation. Are you in?

Listen to this webinar as we explore how an effective security policy can prevent your workforce from falling foul of attacks from cyber criminals.

A well-developed security policy is a powerful risk mitigation tool. As the media reminds us every day, it's often not IT systems, but people, that fall victim to hacking attempts. Regardless of company size, a security policy can establish actionable ways for your organization to foster and enforce a workforce culture of security awareness.

To help information security leaders build an effective security policy or fine-tune an existing program, SAI Global has partnered with security expert Susan Morrow, Head of Research & Development at Avoco Secure, to discuss the critical steps you should take to develop your security policy. 

Susan will share: 

• The risks of not having a security policy 
• The value of going beyond off-the-shelf policy solutions 
• Critical steps in policy development 
• The effectiveness of a global policy vs. department-specific policies 
• Suggestions on policy content, scope and implementation

Actionable Security Policies for Cyber Defense

With email providing the entry point for 91% of global cyber-attacks, a sustainable information security and data privacy risk management program needs to empower employees and third-party vendors to detect, avoid and report security risks and phishing attacks. 

Consider account verification emails, DocuSign requests, cloud file sharing alerts and delivery notifications. These asks could actually be a phishing attack in disguise. 

Learn to spot the signs and how to enable your team to be the first line of defense. 

Join SAI Global and the InfoSec Institute as Mike Nobers, Director of Channel InfoSec Institute discusses the critical steps in addressing phishing in the workplace. Exploring how software can help organizations identify risk and phish-susceptible individuals with market-leading risk intelligence capabilities that can help ensure a security culture. 

Topics to be covered include:

• Why Phishing attacks are so successful 
• How to approach team members with awareness training 
• What technology measures organizations can take to protect themselves 
• Where the threat landscape is heading
