Overview

If the past year has taught us anything, it's that what we put on paper doesn't always pan out. Cybersecurity professionals know that a security strategy can quickly turn into projects with many twists, turns, roadblocks and surprises. We’ve invited two seasoned CISOs to get their take on how to navigate the challenges of making things happen in the day-to-day of this fast-paced industry, and how to build in flexibility for the unknown surprises along the way.

Expect answers to questions like:

  • Can you plan an effective security strategy for the unknown?
  • What parts of planning do you have to get right to reduce issues during execution?
  • What tips have served you well in your career to stay on top of disruptions?
  • How do you keep your team motivated when blockers just keep coming?
