PRESENTER:  Cameron Stewart Head of Product Development, AXELOS

Agile is a cultural step in which an organization empowers its people to work with maximum flexibility and minimum constraints, so any obstructions to the agile way of working will limit its success, just as the herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest member of the herd.

Cybersecurity: From the Boardroom to the Frontline

DATE:  10/04/2018

TIME:  9:00 am PDT / 12:00 pm EDT / 4:00 pm GMT

PRESENTER:  Nick Wilding - General Manager of Cyber Resilience, AXELOS

The decisions we take to deal with our cyber-risks are often flawed. Most organizations struggle to fully understand the business impacts of the cyber risks they face, and how to manage them effectively. This challenge goes well beyond securing the organization’s technology. How for example can we instill effective vigilance and resilience from the boardroom to the frontline?

There remain too many ‘disconnects’ in our organizations – between the Board and the security professionals, between the ‘business’ and ‘IT’ and critically between the workforce and those responsible for building effective digital awareness and skills – to be truly effective and joined-up in our response to cyber risks. How can we change this?

This interactive, engaging session will go beyond the ‘bits and bytes’ of cybersecurity into the importance that all our people and their behaviors play in our organizational resilience. Nick Wilding, General Manager of Cyber Resilience at AXELOS Global Best Practice will discuss the critical behavioral challenges and how these can be adapted to meet different organizational demands – from the boardroom to the frontline – to be more effective and successful in mitigating the business risks from cyber-attack.

This webinar will discuss:

• Why traditional cybersecurity awareness training techniques are failing us
• Making it real and relevant: the opportunity to build and sustain positive and productive security habits
• What good cyber resilience awareness training can really look like
