Breakout Sessions

Rethinking Security Awareness – One Size Does Not Fit All

Security awareness can often be cliché. Many CISOs have implemented company-wide security awareness training once or twice a year, but is this effective? Not all business units are the same and a tailored, innovative approach is needed to deliver a culture and behaviour change. In this panel session, CISOs will share different approaches to security awareness and explore ways to engage staff and change their mindset to see security in the same vein as health and safety.

Join this interactive session to discuss:

  • Debating different approaches to dynamic and bespoke security awareness programmes
  • Keeping an adaptive security awareness programme in line with the pace of business change – accommodating for staff turnover & business transformations
  • Sharing successes approaches to behaviour change & engagement

Stress and the CISO — Practical Strategies to Mitigate Burnout

Within the security function, stress is a given. Between managing vulnerabilities, implementing new solutions, and navigating governance and company-wide risk assessments, it’s not a surprise that security professionals — and especially CISOs — are experiencing such high levels of burnout. In this session, Don Gibson (CISO, Kinly) and Marcia Goddard (Chief Culture Officer, The Contentment Foundation), will walk you through why and how burnout occurs, signs to watch for, along with tricks and tips to help manage and reduce the potential of it happening to you.

In this session Don & Marica will discuss:

  • How to recognise the signs and symptoms of toxic stress and burnout
  • How to remain engaged, energized, and focused during turbulent times
  • Methods to reduce stress at work and how to not let the stress overlap into personal lives
