You know the scenario: you have allotted agenda time to explain complex cyber risk to the C-suite and boards of directors (who hope that you know what you’re doing, because they lack the time, desire or tech knowledge to delve deeper), and at the end of your presentation, blank stares or – worse – increased unease about your organization’s cyber readiness.With a career spanning three decades, Rob Clyde has been on both sides of the table: he has served as CEO, CTO, and in other executive roles, and has also served as board director for many organizations and enterprises. His unique perspective allows you to see the presentation from both the board director’s and the security professional’s view. Clyde will offer helpful guidelines for creating a presentation that is clear, concise and transparent; you will learn how to articulate business impact, risk, and mitigation – but also how to tell the board what you need from them. Learn how to prepare key metrics and review examples of graphics, dashboards and helpful tools to summarize critical information.Additionally, Clyde describes how to move your leadership beyond focusing on mitigating risk to understanding that the competitive risk of not adopting new technologies may be even more significant than security risk. This is the opportunity to go beyond the data to share your suggested strategies. Anticipate what questions might be asked and what data will ensure your board understands your cybersecurity program. Learn how you can share information on emerging technologies like IoT, AI and quantum computing so that your board can understand how they may impact your enterprise, and what can be done to mitigate security risks and safely adopt new technologies and opportunities. Take your leadership beyond worrying about cyber risk to adopting technologies that can catapult your organization ahead of the competition.How to share cyber risks and metrics with your board and anticipate their questionsBoard perspectives relative to new technologies, and how to explain competitive riskHow to prepare key metrics; review examples of tools that summarize critical information
