New York CISO Executive Summit

CISOs already have their plates full safeguarding their organizations from the latest threats, but it’s not simply enough to be a talented security leader. In a role that is evolving as quickly as the threat landscape, CISOs must be their own advocates within the c-suite.

In this session, you’ll explore how to:

• Elevate your security career through personal branding
• Negotiate for the salary you deserve
• Create a defined career path

Pitching to the board is a skill that must be mastered. CISOs are tasked to use visuals, communicate business value and synthesize complex information in a way that makes sense. Join this interactive session to identify the holes in your board pitch—and improve them for the next time you’re in the hot seat.

In this interactive session, you will work in a group to:

• Create and deliver a board pitch.
• Receive real-time feedback on your pitch.
• Learn best practices and strategies for communicating with your board.

At a time when securityprofessionals fuel business enablement and enhance bottom-line value, CISOshave never had a more vital business role. But in order to get the board buy-inthey need for their programs, they need to be trusted.  In the age of thebreach, this is easier said than done.

In this session, you’lllearn how to:

• Give senior leaders visibility into your network andprocess
• Build the board’s confidence in your security program
• Present appropriate executive level staff and board metrics

For years, we’ve seen attackers target organizations via their people. Now with fewer reliable exploits and more cloud adoption, we’re also seeing a shift toward attacks that exploit people, with threat actors tricking their targets into running their malware for them, handing over their credentials, or simply sending data or money to an impostor. Ryan Kalember of Proofpoint will outline strategies for gaining visibility and mitigating risk in a people-centric threat landscape.

 Join to learn:

• Why nearly all threat actors have shifted away from technical exploits to compromise their targets
• How organizations can leverage threat data to understand which people and departments are highly targeted
• How to design effective protection for highly attacked, highly vulnerable, and highly privileged users
