Setting Common Language When Talking to Leadership About IT Risks

Written by SecureWorld News Team | 8 PM Z

To be successful in presenting IT security to senior leadership, it's important it is done in ways that they can ingest, process, and understand; because ultimately, IT risk management decisions are business decisions, not technical decisions.

This session will discuss approaches to present to individual business decision makers, understanding that each has his/her own goals, incentives, currency, and biases. We will discuss three simple concepts to be defined and agreed upon by senior leadership to move forward:

1. What does success look like?
2. What does failure look like?
3. How do we measure these?

This session will be very conversational and interactive, so bring your questions!
