Part of the AvengerCon VI presentations cleared for public release:
Selling cyber: How to engage senior leaders and build a village to achieve your goals, presented by Chuck Weissenborn
To be effective in cybersecurity, one has to be able to communicate objectives, requirements, and risk to non-technical leaders and adjacent teams. This "soft skill" presents a challenge to many in the cybersecurity community - our natural tendency is to leverage verbiage that we use on a regular basis and focus on the things that are important to our sections and teams - which tends to lean toward the technical side of cybersecurity.
Many of our leaders are not cybersecurity experts, and in many cases, the things that are topmost on their minds are not directly cybersecurity related. To successfully achieve change/our objectives, we have to align with others priorities, and build a village with a semi-unified vision.
During this session, we'll discuss:
- identifying key stakeholders
- building a consensus amongst a broader community
- communicating with leadership and non-technical experts
- framing cybersecurity objectives in different perspectives: risk/business case/operational
- driving value to generate continued success
