This discussion will explore the dual role of CISOs who must steer through high-level strategic discussions with company leaders while tackling day-to-day technical challenges. This balancing act requires influencing without always having direct authority. Our roundtable will address the broad range of their responsibilities and the real-world juggling act involved—all in a day’s work.

For example:

– Starting your day in a high-stakes board meeting before ending it in a hands-on session with your security engineers.
– Discussing strategic investments with the finance team before deep diving into the specifics of a new security patch.
– Negotiating with security vendors, while also coordinating a rapid response to an unexpected security breach.
– Presenting long-term security roadmaps in a senior leadership retreat before being interrupted to troubleshoot urgent security issues that arise unexpectedly during the day.
