Securing investment from executives for a security awareness program depends on persuasive justification and strong negotiation skills. Support for awareness programs can be dismissed or deprioritized as larger projects impacting bottom-line performance compete for attention. This presentation will cover the three ways that you can gain organizational support for your security awareness program.

Gender imbalance is stagnating if not getting worse in many IT organizations. The challenge is not just hiring more women, it’s also not losing them. Leaders can support the women in IT by creating, curating and managing a pipeline program. Creating an inclusive environment also means confronting behaviors that marginalize women.

One of the key challenges Gartner speaks to its clients about is how to engage effectively with your Board to help ensure they receive the information they need to support risk-informed cybersecurity decision making. We often see Board reports that are either too tactical or don’t provide the actionable insights the Board needs to help support the CISO’s agenda. Join this Ask the Analyst session to hear how you can deliver the cyber security reporting that delivers upon this objective.

Across the Australian and State government regulatory landscape, organisations are being directed to implement, and in some cases, comply with ASD’s Essential 8 in pursuit of a more resilient and secure digital landscape across government. Consequently we have seen an increase in requests from Commonwealth and State government SRM leaders seeking advice on how to shape and influence the discussion at senior levels about what to, and how to, implement the Essential 8 inside their organisations. This is a key challenge for Australian Government security leaders that needs addressing in a pragmatic, politically-sensitive way given the volume of noise about the Essential 8 from senior stakeholders. To add to the complexity, the road to full implementation of the Essential 8 is not an easy path, and nor should it be considered the cybersecurity panacea it gets marketed as. Join this interactive roundtable session with your Government peers to discuss strategies for ensuring government organisations are able to deliver high-performing security capabilities and at the same time meet their State or Commonwealth cybersecurity obligations.

In past decades, particularly in “producer cultures” professionals were given positions of leadership and authority because they were great “producers”. The top trader, the banker that posted the most revenues or the lawyer that had the most billable hours were compensated with money, an elevated title and positions of leadership without much thought as to whether the person was the kind of individual that could motivate and inspire others to perform beyond their own expectations.
