Communicating Risk to Executive Leadership

Security leaders are under supreme pressure to build security programs that protect the business without disabling the business.  However, the greatest impediment to success is not the technologies or regulations, but rather the people who must implement a security program. As a security leader, how do you communicate important risk, security, and compliance concepts to your team in a manner that inspires them to action?

The answer is Business Security Vision.  This is a new approach to information security leadership.  Business risk vision seeks to define your program through inspiring mission statements and problem statements.  It then goes on to solidify those statements with clear plans and expectations that provide common objectives.  Mostly, Business Security Vision establishes a clear, strategic vision for your security program in a way that aligns and inspires people.

In this presentation, veteran security leader, as well as a CEO, Andrew Plato will discuss how to use business security vision to improve the conversation with your team.  We will discuss communication, leadership, and motivational strategies that clarify and simplify security concepts to drive maximum employee engagement.

About Andrew Plato

In 1995 while working at Microsoft, Andrew Plato executed the first known instance of a SQL Injection attack against an early e-commerce site.  When he demonstrated this attack to the developers, they dismissed the issue as irrelevant. Intrigued, Plato left Microsoft to found Anitian, an information security intelligence firm. Today, Anitian is one of the most trusted names in security intelligence with clients worldwide. Anitian has a mission to Build Great Security. For the past 20 years, Plato and Anitian have consistently executed on this mission with innovative, pragmatic answers to the most vexing security, compliance, and risk challenges. Plato’s career encompasses nearly every dimension of information security. He has participated in thousands of security projects, written hundreds of articles, and advised hundreds of C-level executives. Being both a business owner and a security practitioner allows Plato to bring a unique perspective to any discussion regarding security, technology, and governance.  Plato is well-known for delivering entertaining presentations that challenge conventional thinking and deliver practical answers to complex IT security challenges.
