Theme: Communication in the C-Suite
Date: August 2-3, 2012
Location: Boston, MA
Please see agenda (below) for presentation slide links.
As CISOs, we have spent our careers advocating for security within our organizations. We are challenged to cultivate impeccable technical expertise while managing teams to create a competitive advantage for our company. Many of us have garnered a refined technical skill set however, are we prepared as CISOs to effectively communicate our security needs to the executive suite? Infamous breaches, BYOD, and constant attacks have proven to the C-suite that security is a top business priority. Now that information security has come to the forefront the business agenda, and we have captivated the decision makers, what is that we have to say? How do we say it?

Bridging the gap between technical and non-technical individuals is a challenge that organizations constantly face. Those who find themselves in the CISO role have often gone through the successful ranks by utilizing a technical skill set. Finding themselves now in the executive suite, they have not cultivated the non-technical skill set required for business acumen. Learn how to build this skill set from one of the top communication professionals in our industry in this session.
