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.
