- 3. OPINION: The growing role of CISOs in cybersecurity governance – APDR
I predicted this in 2015...
In today’s interconnected world, the importance of robust cybersecurity cannot be overstated. With an ever-expanding digital landscape, the role of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) has evolved to become pivotal in ensuring the integrity, resilience, and compliance of an organisation’s cybersecurity infrastructure.
As guardians of data, privacy, and digital assets, CISOs are at the forefront of shaping the future of cybersecurity governance, effectively bridging the gap between technology and strategic business objectives.
- 4. Unlocking the Importance of Cybersecurity for Business Success – Joseph Steinberg: CyberSecurity Expert Witness, Privacy, Artificial Intelligence (AI) Advisor
In today’s digitally driven world, in which businesses heavily rely on computer systems and the information living within such systems, the importance of cybersecurity cannot be overstated. As organizations embrace digital transformation, and delver further and further along the path towards such, they open themselves up to a myriad of cyber threats. Because failing to remain cybersecure can literally cause a business to fail and go entirely “out of business,” understanding and prioritizing cybersecurity is not just a matter of protecting sensitive data; it is a fundamental component of ensuring business success, continuity, and resilience in the face of an ever-evolving threat landscape.
- 5. Want to Be a Better Leader? Stop Thinking About Work After Hours.
It’s not uncommon for managers to continue thinking about their job, even after the official workday is over. This may involve ruminating about an issue with an employee, trying to think of a solution to a client problem, or creating a mental to-do list for the next day. But new research shows that this tendency may not be beneficial, particularly for people new to a leadership role. In fact, constant rumination leads managers to be more depleted and less able to show up as leaders — something even their employees can pick up on.
- 6. How Do I Handle Negative Feedback from My Team?
She’s grown her entire career at one company, but now she’s in a new leadership role and she recently felt blindsided by negative feedback from her team. She’s struggling to process the feedback and respond. Host Muriel Wilkins coaches her through how she can move forward with her team.
