Innovation and Collaboration: Unlocking the Potential of the Modern CISO

With potentially slower business activity, CISOs have the chance to improve existing security programs and sharpen their communications to effectively translate security-speak to management decision makers.

In this session, our expert group of CISOs will share their perspectives on what lies ahead and how to communicate budget needs and the evolving threat environment to management. They will assess the opportunities in a “down cycle” to improve existing programs, discuss effective communication to decision makers in management, and decipher the biggest challenges for building and maintaining a successful security team.

Attendees will gain insights into the latest best practices for cybersecurity, learn strategies for communicating security needs to management, and hear from experienced CISOs on how to build and maintain successful security teams. This session is a must-attend for any CISO, security professional, or business leader looking to strengthen their organization’s defenses in the face of evolving cyber threats.
