Guest Speaker

Today’s CISOs face daunting challenges. It is a balance between fighting off increasingly sophisticated attacks, managing scarce resources, and working with stakeholders that often don't understand the inevitability of a breach. Since there continues to be a knowledge gap about the criticality of the CISO’s role, it is no surprise that they’re experiencing stress and burnout at unprecedented rates. How can CISOs make their careers sustainable and maintain a sense of well-being?

Join this keynote to explore:

  • How to recognize 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
  • Mindfulness strategies that can help alleviate burnout
  • How to model work life balance for Gen y and Gen z workers who prioritize mental health
