  1. 1. Cybersecurity should be a business priority for CEOs – Help Net Security

    74% of CEOs are concerned about their organizations’ ability to avert or minimize damage to the business from a cyberattack – even though 96% of CEOs said that cybersecurity is critical to organizational growth and stability, according to Accenture.

  2. 2. Why mere compliance can no longer ensure cybersecurity for businesses

    While compliance-driven initiatives have undoubtedly improved cybersecurity practices in many sectors, they have also given rise to the mistaken belief that meeting these requirements is the ultimate goal of cybersecurity.

  3. 3. What CISOs Should Exclude From SEC Cybersecurity Filings

    Should CISOs include only known information in the SEC filings for a material security incident, or is there room to include details that may change during the investigation?

  4. 4. More cybersecurity firm closures expected after IronNet shutters

    Cybersecurity insiders don’t believe the looming bankruptcy of former high-flier IronNet will be an isolated collapse, as the industry battles a tough economy following years of speculative investment.

  5. 5. 10 Emotions That Are Undervalued in the Workplace

    In their new book, Move Fast and Fix Things, Frances Frei and Anne Morriss outline five strategies to help leaders tackle their hardest problems and quickly make change. Their fourth strategy is about telling a compelling story about the change you need to make. While change can make a lot of logical sense, it can also be unsettling and disruptive to the people impacted by it. Emotions are an underdiscussed part of change leadership. But just as anxiety can be highly infectious — so can optimism. This list explores 10 powerful emotions that you can channel in your storytelling narrative.

  6. 6. Effective Communication: The Key to Workplace Success

    Here are a few tips to enhance your communication skills and make a positive impact in the workplace:

    1. Practice active listening
    2. Be concise and clear
    3. Embrace non-verbal cues
    4. Seek feedback
    5. Use empathy
