For far to long we have approached security as a technical issue – a matter of networks, servers, and websites. But more and more we see that cyber criminals are attacking our people – using behavioral and psychological techniques to achieve their goals. Technical defenses are no longer enough.
So how do security leaders strike the right balance? How do you align security with business objectives, influence culture, and adapt your strategy to face an ever growing and more complex threat landscape? How do you build resilience into your organization?
In this workshop, we’ll address security culture – what it is, why it’s important, and most importantly, how to positively shape your security culture to build resilience. We’ll cover useful models and frameworks to support change, and we’ll give you a simple and straightforward blueprint for successful change.
Next, you’ll get to put those skills into practice, using Cyber42. Cyber42 is a fast-paced leadership game that puts you in the hot seat, making tough calls for a fictitious organization facing mounting cyber risks. Each scenario tests your ability to balance technology, strategy, and culture. After each round, guided group discussions reveal trade-offs, and the winner is crowned for delivering the greatest security and cultural impact.
Learning Objectives
Through scenarios that highlight technology, strategy, and culture, you will:
Identify next steps against common security challenges
Balance competing priorities to achieve successful outcomes
Rapidly analyze and synthesize data for stronger decisions
Build leadership confidence in a simulated, risk-free environment
Forge valuable peer connections in a dynamic, competitive setting
