Your Partner in Security – Building Better Business through 360° Alignment
No ratings
Presented at CISOVancouver 2013 by
IT consumerization and social media are changing the way organizations structure their security programs, forcing CISOs to align their teams more closely with the business. This can be a uniquely challenging process. As IT organizations attempt to join business projects from the outset, they are still fighting the stigma as the “no” guys. This cultural shift is still a long row to hoe as the partner profile of IT security is slow to be adopted by other departments. Baden Smith believes that building and maintaining successful partnerships is imperative to creating an effective security practice. In this session, Smith will discuss how he shapes business strategy through successful alignment with other teams, such as legal, business and IT development, and how these efforts have reshaped the perception of security in his organization.
