Atlanta CISO Virtual Executive Summit

Gallup reports that 70% of all change initiatives are unsuccessful. Why do some organizations succeed at delivering change while others don’t? Quite simply, their leaders put people before things. Using concepts from his best-selling book, Chris takes his audience on a journey to help them visualize how they can become CHANGE leaders. Intended for any executive, middle manager or grassroots influencer, this is an inspirational message for all levels of leadership!

Added to the list of bona fides for today’s information security leader is a multilingual mandate for speaking the languages of risk. Business risk, legal risk and more all intertwine with an effective security strategy, yet the owners of each area don’t always see eye to eye. Where business units aren’t looking at risk the same way, an opportunity opens for malicious actors.

Join this session to discuss:

• Successful examples of cross-functional partnerships in risk management
• Metrics that effectively describe risk within, and outside of, security
• Tips for leveraging risk discussions to gain support for security

With 18,341 new vulnerabilities discovered in 2020, every year there are more and more vectors of potential cyberattacks into your organization.

Join Skybox Security where we will explore

• What is needed to establish more effective vulnerability management programs
• Eye-opening realities and trends regarding the expansion of vulnerabilities
• Ways for you to eliminate exposure risk in the most effective and efficient way possible.
