New Jersey CISO Executive Summit

As board members hunger for new technology and security insights, communication is central. However, much of this information is either misunderstood or too technical. Seeking ways to meaningfully share information in a compelling way to the board can be difficult.

FAIR Institute Chairman Jack Jones will share:

• What the board is really wanting to know in terms of metrics
• How to provide clarity on why the information tends to fall short
• What you can do as an organization to provide context to the board

In this networking lunch you have the opportunity to have relevant and topical conversations with your peers. The below questions are a guideline for you to start your table conversations.

Digital transformation

• How do you define digital transformation?
• Transform or optimize? Are you changing your business model or are you optimizing your current business model with digital?

Security operations

• How have you decided what to outsource and keep internally?
• How have you developed effective principles and procedures for a security operations center?
• What best practices have you identified in evaluating incidents in the environment?

Delivering business value

• How do you help the business make better decisions and reduce friction for major change initiatives?

Communicating risk

• What does the board really want to hear from CISOs?
• Which metrics will help you craft a compelling story that inspires action?

Talent and developing leaders

• What is your greatest challenge related to developing and retaining your top talent?
• As a leader, how are you supporting growth amongst your top talent?
• How do you keep people motivated and continuously redirecting and retooling themselves?

As enterprises grow increasingly reliant on technology for every aspect of operations, CISOs have found themselves in a completely new operations center: the boardroom. Headline-grabbing breaches can draw a lot of attention from business stakeholders and board members, but staying focused on the likely scenarios offers the best protection. In this session Costlow will share strategies for discussing security and technology priorities at the board level.

• Put risk in perspective and focus on your plan for recovery
• Understand the gaps in your program and come with a plan to fill them
• Focus on business risk/reward by mapping core security priorities to business objectives
• Create a roadmap to “Yes” by prioritizing business performance without sacrificing security

While the term digital means something different to everyone, the basic goal remains the same: to best serve the customer.
