Presentation Abstract

Hacking the Boardroom – CISO Strategies for Infiltrating the Board’s Mindset

Are you ready to Hack the Boardroom and unlock your company’s cybersecurity potential?

This presentation will explore the world of cybersecurity through the lens of the Board of Directors’ top priorities – Oversight, Risk, Culture, and Interference on Management. During the session some pratical tools will be shared to help CISOs prepare for the “attack” of the Board and, to make it more familiar, the MITRE ATT&CK framework will be used to structure the approach. By understanding the Board’s mindset and priorities, CISOs can effectively communicate the importance of cybersecurity in a language that resonates with the Board.

The session will also provide practical tips and questions to help CISOs prepare in advance for successful engagement with the Board, and show how cybersecurity can be integrated into the overall business strategy. Join us to learn how to successfully infiltrate the Board’s mindset and establish a strong cybersecurity posture within your organization.

Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to prepare your next conversation with the Board and take your company’s security to the next level!
