Speaking Metrics to Executives

Presented at BSidesLV 2015, Aug. 4, 2015, 11 a.m. (25 minutes).

Just as strong CIOs have moved from talking about processors and routers, leaders in information security are bridging discussions of business risk and competitive landscapes with understandable metrics. During this session, some model metrics will be discussed taking typical "geek numbers" into CxO presentations by appropriate transformation and interpretation. Participants are invited to discuss presenting additional executive metric models.
