SINET CISO/Risk Executive-only session

Mitigating Risk to the CISO Profession As It Becomes Increasingly Untenable

Wednesday, March 12, 2025 | 8:30am – 9:30am PT / 11:30am – 12:30pm ET
#SINET

This interactive session will offer practical strategies to empower CISOs while they navigate concerns around personal liability within the context of internal governance structures and the regulatory landscape. How can CISOs continue to protect themselves while still doing their job of protecting their organization? We will discuss:

– How misaligned communication between CISOs and other key functions, such as legal or finance, can hinder effective decision-making and expose organizations to unnecessary risks.
– Protections such as indemnification in the event of an individual investigation – to the same extent as other executives with similar exposure.
– Limited visibility or control over marketing materials that highlight cybersecurity and resiliency that can be at odds with internal assessments of vulnerabilities.
– Disagreements with senior leadership on what should be escalated to the board often leave CISOs without clear mechanisms to resolve those issues while ensuring their voices are heard.
– Navigating the ever-widening gap between an escalating threat landscape and budgets that remain constrained – underscoring the need for strategic prioritization and corporate support.
– The risk of over-reporting due to the latest SEC regulations.
