The SINET Risk Executive Handbook: A CISO’s Guide to a Robust Employment Agreement, Employment Risks, and Technology Risk Governance

As the 21st-century Risk Executive continues to evolve, we see an opportunity for a movement that begins with an acutely informed and connected Risk Executive Community.

It is with great pleasure that we present The SINET Risk Executive Handbook on mitigating career risks and empowering Chief Information Security Officers and Risk Executives to better protect themselves. From reporting lines, liability management, insurance, and financial protections – to strategic corporate policies – this guide aims to improve career resilience, protections, and organizational alignment before, during, and after a breach.

SINETConnect Pitch Coaching

SINETConnect is happy to announce a new member-only opportunity, one-on-one pitchcoaching sessions with Robert Rodriguez, Chairman of SINET & Venture Partner, SYN Ventures. Robert will guide your company in refining your pitch deck and messaging and improving your roadmap based on his insight into both the entrepreneur and consumer sides of the industry.

Looking for advice on how to build lasting relationships with large-brand customers?

Visit the Screening Room for guidance from Nick Shevelyov and Martin Fredrickson on how to prepare for, land, and build lasting relationships with large-brand customers and complex organizations without being transactional. In their SINETConnect member-only Innovator Workshop, Nick and Martin discussed how to prepare your team as a cohesive whole on messaging and purpose, how to develop a differentiated message and lexicon, and how to build lasting and trusted relationships that will follow you throughout your career. This pre-recorded Workshop is available to view on-demand.
