Learn more about how to secure your business from threats in places you didn't even know existed.

The role of the CISO has skyrocketed in prominence far more rapidly than many pundits had predicted, underpinned by relentless cyber incursions, tightening regulatory screws and increased personal liability on corporate directors. Once a peripheral technology role, an increasing number of CISOs now frequently present to boards. Furthermore, CISOs are now expected to weigh in on a wide range of strategic matters, such as new product development, mergers and acquisitions and expansion into new markets.

But as these changes unfold, most cyber leaders are finding themselves woefully unprepared. Most cyber leaders rose through the ranks from technical engineering and operational roles. Their deep technical expertise and range of cybersecurity certifications equipped them to excel in prior middle managerial roles. But as many CISOs can attest, success in the c-suite is less to do with technical proficiency, but one’s ability to navigate complex and deeply entrenched political systems, influence power brokers, lead with courage, and communicate to the board with clarity and persuasion.

In our upcoming Webinar, Morey Haber, CISO & CTO at BeyondTrust, sits down with Phil Zongo, the CEO and Cofounder the Cyber Leadership Institute to discuss some practical tools cyber leaders can deploy to boost their credibility with the c-suite and deliver transformation fast. Phil is a multi-award winning cyber executive, thought leader and bestselling author of The Five Anchors of Cyber Resilience.

Among other practical insights, participants will:

  1. Gain practical ideas to nurture deep and strategic relationships with influential stakeholders
  2. Gain credibility fast by focusing shrinking cyber budgets on high-impact initiatives.
  3. Balance ambition with reality when defining your cyber resilience transformation agenda.
  4. Get insight into powerful tips to communicate to boards with impact, persuasion and clarity.
  5. Identify personal branding strategies to enhance their standing with internal and external stakeholders
