Stop me if you’ve heard these before (or maybe you’ve said them yourself), “Management just doesn’t listen”, “The executives don’t care”, “The board just doesn’t understand”. These exasperations can be very common for blue teamers. We know what needs to be done but we just can’t seem to get the support of our organizational leadership. Even when CISOs or high-level security leaders break through and get time with the board, it’s not uncommon to see them with their heads down looking at their phones. Well, this session is your master class in turning that around and making these conversations work for you.
Come learn from an experienced cyber security executive about what works and what doesn’t when you’re engaging with your leadership teams. Learn actual techniques you can employ tomorrow for effectively planning and delivering a presentation, recovering engagement from an audience that’s tuned out, and overcoming some the skepticism and animosity that can derail your efforts. You’ll see re-world examples from presentations that succeeded as well as from those that failed. Whether you’re in an individual technical role or in the executive suite, this is a chance to up your game and start gaining the support you need.
