Cyber security continues to become more complex and specialised. The days of the lone defender able to heroically defend their organisation from all malicious actors are long gone.

Multidisciplinary teams that bring together diverse and complementary talents to defend their organisations in an increasingly difficult threat environment are the best cyber defence. Effective cyber security leaders need to be the ‘synthesising professional’ able to knit teams together.

This one day workshop will allow participants to immerse themselves in tactics and strategies that they can use within their organisations whether they are:

• A board member seeking to understand what questions to ask for cyber assurance,
• A senior executive who has been given cyber security responsibilities,
• New to the CISO/CSO role, – Reporting to or supporting security leadership, or
• Wanting to advance in their cyber security career into a management role.

We will cover the following:

• What is organisational cyber resilience- How much cyber security assurance is enough
• Things to cover in the first week, month and six months of becoming a new CISO
• How stakeholder analysis is a very useful tool- The importance of establishing clear risk appetite and risk tolerance
• Listening for understanding and conscious conversations
• Why diversity and inclusion are highly valuable organisational attributes
• Defining and implementing meaningful metrics- Multi-disciplinary teams, biases and barriers
