About this talk

Bridging the Gap Between the SOC and the Boardroom: How to talk in a language your Chief Executive can understand. Most C-Suite occupants don’t speak security: Real-world examples will be used to demonstrate how to communicate in a manner that even the most technology averse executive can understand. Use of a common vocabulary helps executives fully comprehend the impact of risk, and the correlation between investment and risk mitigation (and to understand the implications of underfunding a security program). By paying close attention to the details, there are frequently key warning signs and patterns that can identified prior to a breach occurring – By addressing common disconnects, this presentation offers a guide to help bridge the gap between the SOC and the boardroom. Cyber threats continue to escalate in volume and sophistication – being able to eloquently articulate the risks and the necessary mitigation strategy is a critical skill for every security professional. The signs are all there but if you can’t deliver the message you might as well leave the front door open!
