Event Description
Join security industry expert Mike Rothman as he explains how your daily existence could change to look like this:
- You’ll get a seat at the table – senior managers will be consulting you before they roll out an application. It’s not a pipe dream.
- Your users will get it – Your employees will no longer be the bane of your existence. Many will stop doing stupid things because they’ll actually understand what not to do.
- You’ll know what not to get done – No longer will you need to spend all of your waking hours trying to get everything done, no matter how trivial it seems. A clear idea of priorities will make sure you stay focused at all times.
- You’ll live to fight another day – Security incidents are part of the territory, but you’ll be prepared. You’ll learn how to know something is up and what to do, who to call and how to recover – without fatally damaging your credibility.

- 50% discount on your book order of The Pragmatic CSO

Learning Objectives:
The tools and knowledge necessary to be a pragmatic CSO:
- Senior management asks my opinion – Security is part of the team now, so before a new initiative or application gets rolled out, we make sure there aren’t any critical holes.
- I have a plan – Through the Pragmatic CSO, I built a business plan for my security operation and got the funding that I need in order to my job. As long as I hit my objectives, I can execute on my plan.
- I don’t chase the attack de jour – I know what’s important to protect and I make sure those business systems are protected. It makes my priorities very clear on a daily basis.
- The auditors are my friends – Believe it or not, my last audit took 1/3 the time. By changing my perspective with the auditors, I gave them what they needed and they helped me accomplish what I needed to. Who would have thought I could get a win-win with the auditors?
