Join John Pescatore and Alan Paller at the Keynote opening of SecWest as we bring together CISOs and a prominent member of corporate boards to address a very timely CISO hot topic: How to inform and influence the CEO and board of directors to drive change and improve cybersecurity at your company or agency.
Shellye Archambeau, CEO of MetricStream and member of the board of directors of Nordstrom and Verizon, will give an opening talk on what boards of directors are looking for from security managers.
John Pescatore, SANS Director of Emerging Security Trends will lead a discussion featuring a panel of CISOs as they discussed lessons learned in trying to inform and influence CEOs and boards.
Panelists include:
- Gary Hayslip, CISO of the City of San Diego
- Josh Davis, CISO of Qualcomm
- Jason Callahan, CISO of Illumina
The panel will focus on two primary areas:
- How can CISO's communicate effectively with Boards of Directors and CEOs to improve cybersecurity
How they plan on dealing with the major cybersecurity challenges in their industries in the coming few years
Alan Paller, SANS Director of Research, and John Pescatore will close the session with a joint talk on "Proven Ways to Measure the Right Security Metrics and Communicate Them Effectively"
Attendees will get a "What Works" view from all speakers and have an opportunity to gain from the lessons learned of security leaders across a variety of industries. Immediately following the keynote attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a networking session.
