There are distinctive elements and factors that separate those who are successful from those who fail. 

Join Jere Peltonen to learn from his diverse experience and background. Jere is a global risk, resilience and security adviser, currently working for the Finnish Foreign Ministry and Diplomatic Service and the Deputy Director of the Nordic Counter Terrorism Network. In this session, Jere will draw on his experience and will relate fascinating anecdotes covering the key attributes and practices of effective leaders in crisis situations.

Sophisticated enterprise risk management strategy is not necessarily the full mitigation of risk. For most information security executives, strategic risk management describes a cross-organisational framework to assess different areas of risk and determine when accepting those risks is in the net interest of the business. In order to inform strategy and accountability for risk management, CISOs must be able to leverage meaningful metrics and messaging.

Join this session to discuss:

  • Metrics that work – and don’t work – in describing information security risk
  • The role that the CISO plays in setting risk management strategy
  • Effective cross-functional partnerships in risk management
