In the discussion this week:


The importance of moving beyond the concept of awareness by changing the culture and encouraging everyone to act
How the CISO role has evolved so dramatically from technical to advisor and the importance of developing the skills to enable them to articulate threats in a way that translates to financials and risks
The soft skills required for the new CISO: how to develop abilities in finance, contract management, negotiation skills, change manager, and many others
The CISO role has gained tremendous importance to most businesses: what are the dos and don’ts for them to meet what’s now expected of their prominent position
The importance of not being a function of “no”
Developing emotional intelligence by continuously improving yourself
Improving your story-telling skills: good stories inspire emotions, and emotions inspire people to act, which is a key responsibility of any cybersecurity practitioner
