Jo Stewart-rattray

The hardest thing a chief information security officer ever has to do is to convince the business that security is there to be both an enabler and to protect the organisation, its employees and products using the right tools, education and collaboration. Collaboration and co-operation are essential, as is forming a strong relationship with colleagues from across the business, the board and the risk and assurance committee to ensure security is seen as an enabler to the market context in which the business operates. This often includes educating those at the highest level within the organisation using diplomacy and understanding. In this presentation, you will be introduced to the business model for information security, as well as hearing about practical, pragmatic approaches to positioning security as an enabler in a range of industry settings, from healthcare to heavy manufacturing and high-end tourism.
