This Workshop provides attendees insight into the operations of the board of directors and real-world examples of how to communicate with their senior management and their board. A demonstration of tools and techniques for communicating complex technical issues to non-techies in the jargon businesses use to communicate will be offered. This Workshop provides insight into how a corporation functions and how their organization and the various departments in organizations operate in relation to the technology and cybersecurity team. Attendees will also get a healthy dose of cybersecurity operations through the lens of senior management and the board. 

Additionally, Scott Giordano will analyze the new cybersecurity incident reporting requirements under SEC’s new Cybersecurity Disclosures regulations and compare it to the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022 (CIRCIA), the EU’s NIS2, and the reporting laws of other jurisdictions, and offer insight into educating board members accordingly.

This is a hands-on workshop. We will spend the morning developing the concepts you will need to effectively communicate with your board. In the afternoon we will work in small groups to develop your board presentation. The goal is for you to leave with a board presentation of your own creation.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: If you are a CISO or would like to become a CISO, this session will give you tools, tips, and techniques to become a top tier member of an executive team or C-Suite. If you are required to present to your Board, this is the workshop for you.
