Leadership and the CISO
Hosted by Rapid7
What is unique about CISO leadership? Information security executives must protect their organization from ever-present antagonists with one hand, and with the other, enable business outcomes. With mandates that often conflict and a mission that can never fail, it takes a special knack to thrive as a CISO. What have your peers learned that can help you grow as a leader?
Join this session to discuss:
- Common challenges unique to leadership as a CISO
- Leadership best practices for gaining influence across the organization
- The measures of a truly exceptional CISO
