The New Role of CISOs - Enabling the Business to Reach its Strategic Goals

Think Tank - 3:20 pm - 3:45 pm

The role of the modern Information and Cyber Security (ICS) executive is more complex than it has ever been before, not just because the technology landscape has become more complex, new threats are emerging every day, but also because increasingly ICS execs have had to become a business-focused executive, not just a technologist or domain expert. Long have we talked about the CIO and CISO getting a seat at the table, but modern businesses are now demanding that their technology impresario join them and leverage their deep and rich technical insight to allow the organization to better position itself for success. To be successful, CISOs need to help the business achieve their operational and strategic goal, be innovative, proactive and pragmatic. 

Takeaways:

1. The importance of knowing and understanding the business and the strategic direction. 
2. The importance of having a current and updated view on the IS control environment, critical threats, and risks towards business ops.
3. How to bind the two together to deliver a proactive and risk driven approach to enable the business to succeed in current as well as strategic goals
