Rising CISOs Networking Event: From Hacker to Security Executive

It’s National Cybersecurity Awareness Month and this year’s theme is Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart. It’s a great time for individuals and organizations to think about how they are making security a priority.

Watch our October Rising CISOs Networking Event as our guest speaker, Chief Technology Officer at BeyondTrust, Marc Maiffret shares with us his thoughts on how to keep cybersecurity top of mind year-round and how you can do your part and be cyber smart.

From hacker to security executive Marc Maiffret will cover:

• Think like a hacker – Security can appear to constantly change with threats continually evolving. Learning to think like a hacker can help you see through the constant noise and help you prioritize what is important.
• Know how to hire – Hire for curiosity, creativity, and passion. Those traits are more important than any certification or educational background.
• Tell the story – No one, outside of security professionals, wants to do security. To be an effective security leader, you must become a great storyteller.

Following Marc’s session, attendees will break into networking groups where they will share their unique experiences about breaking through the noise, finding the best talent, and being an effective security leader. This event is meant to be interactive and a space where attendees can meet new people in the industry, share their own stories about career development, and champion each other to continue personal and professional growth.
