You might as well call it "The State of the CISO," and if you attend the upcoming SecureWorld Boston, you can hear Dr. Larry Ponemon share it.
His presentation is based on what he learned during his institute's recent research on InfoSec leaders at 184 companies.
I spoke with Dr. Ponemon recently, and here are the things he's going to unpack in his Boston keynote:
1. The growing number of named CISOs
2. Ways CISO prominence within the organization continues to grow
3. Many CISOs are rising from unexpected backgrounds—which ones?
4. How CISOs are shifting into a coaching role
5. Where CISOs are feeling increased pressure
And while InfoSec leaders report feeling more pressure in some areas, there is some relief in other areas. "Lines of business are taking on more responsibility for the risk," Ponemon says.
Join your peers at the 14th annual SecureWorld cybersecurity conference in Boston on March 14 and 15, 2018.
You can see the updated agenda, view attendee levels, and register for a two powerful days of learning and networking focused on the future of cybersecurity and leadership. This includes fresh ways of thinking about InfoSec with futurist Thornton May.
And if you are a cybersecurity vendor doing something great, our Event Director for Boston tells me we still have a few spots remaining for approved partners to support the day. (Shauna DeLaMare – ShaunaD@secureworldexpo.com)
