Cybersecurity professionals do a great job when it comes to understanding, and mitigating, technical and functional risk.

But CEOs and board members tend to think in terms of business risk. This webinar shows cybersecurity professionals how to articulate requirements in business terms. With that knowledge, they can build the case for cybersecurity tools, staffing, and initiatives in a way that business professionals will understand--and fund.

As organizations rely on third parties to grow and thrive, they’re exposed to major cybersecurity risks. Mitigating this risk means confronting the potential security vulnerabilities that are present in your third party network, but traditional vendor risk management (VRM) methods are no match for modern threats. According to Deloitte 83% of today’s business leaders lack confidence in third party VRM processes.

Join our panel of experts on this CPE accredited webinar to learn how your organization can create a VRM program that’s ready and able to stand up to today's third party threat landscape.

Learning objectives:

• Find out how to gain executive leadership buy-in for your VRM program.
• Learn how to perform quantifiable vendor security analyses.
• Discover how to leverage Automation to Scale your VRM program.

As organisations seek to improve the quality of IT services, perhaps through SIAM or cloud provisioning, the traditional SLA targets and performance measures we hold dear are no longer appropriate.

This talk will look at the common pitfalls and make some recommendations as to measures which will drive the correct behaviours in your internal and external support teams.

Cloud…outsourcing…Platform as a Service…all of these could make IT irrelevant, so how do you prevent this? By providing value every day and by running IT as a Business. Great catch-phrase, but what does it mean? In a nutshell: knowing the services IT is providing, what they cost to operate and whether they provide value, and by staying on the cutting edge of technology even with todays fast pace of change, so that the business you support remains competitive. This webinar addresses the basic building blocks you need to run like a business: defining services and offerings, layering in financial management and charge-backs/show-backs so you understand the costs of these offerings and how to pull it all together in a way that helps you run as a business does, even if it’s only on paper.

Rob Akershoek, Solutions Architect at Shell and part of the IT4IT Forum, discuss the challenges and opportunities of running IT as a business. Running IT as a business is more than finances and cutting cost – it’s about IT quality.

Today, simply meeting the service commitments of the business consistently may no longer be considered enough.

Your business customers will over time have an expectation of increasing ‘value’ from their investment in the IT services you provide.

Continual Service Improvement (CSI) provides an opportunity to exploit the insight, knowledge and skills of your people to identify and drive improvements to your IT services that add value to the customer and begin to positively influence their perception of getting value for money from their IT service provider.

However, there is no value in CSI if the improvements provided are not focused on what your customer considers important to them. Equally, if the CSI improvements are not communicated to your customer and explained in a way that demonstrates tangible business value then this is a missed opportunity to demonstrate value and enhance customer satisfaction.

In this session, we explore the essential ‘CSI Building Blocks’ required to ensure that CSI becomes a core capability for the IT service provider to demonstrate value for money from the IT services provided to their customers.

This session will provide learning and guidance on:-
The importance of demonstrating value to ensure commercial success….and the challenge for the IT Service Provider
Understanding the concepts & characteristics of ‘value ‘
Understanding how CSI can provide ‘Value Add’ and positively influence customer perception of value for money
The essential ‘Building Blocks ‘ to enable CSI as an approach demonstrate the value provided from the IT Service providers people and capabilities

The ‘CSI Building Blocks’ include the need to apply ‘Outside In’ thinking to your ITSM strategy, understanding the importance of purpose and contribution in motivating your people to drive CSI in the workplace, the importance of business measures to convey business value and the importance of a ‘target and tailor’ approach to customer communications.
