CS-2058 Build an Inspiring Company Culture to Get Great Results

Presented at Texas Cyber Summit 2019, Oct. 11, 2019, 2:15 p.m. (60 minutes)

Did you know that a company’s culture is a key defense against cyber threat? Consider that toxic, disengage company culture produces unhappy people. Unhappy people are less vigilant and less engaged in protecting a company from cyber attack. Most companies focus on Technology, Processes, but leave People to chance. Building a vibrant culture left to chance. Devoting time and resources to cyber security strategy and technology, but leaving company culture to chance is detrimental. People and company culture must be a key pillar of focus. In this dynamic, hands-on session, we will identify 3 leader habits, the 7 culture building blocks, and key steps to implement a magnetic culture. RESULTS: 1. Identify the current company culture and how it supports or detracts from goal-achievement. 2. Establish the 3 leader habits critical for a great culture and how to consistently apply those habits. 3. Identify the 7 culture building blocks and steps to implement. **Notes:** The IT and Cyber industry conferences often focus on technical, technology, or processes. A significant missing piece is the focus on people. People are the greatest vulnerability. From leaders under-prepared for their leadership role to dysfunctional company cultures that create environments where unhappy employees can create the conditions for significant cyber exploitation. This workshop will help leaders and decision-makers review where their company culture may be undermining their cyber security program.
