CSI Masterclasses and Workshops
Our C-Suite Workshop is designed to build cyber leadership insights and practices within organisations. Work with our team of experts to shape your organisation's cyber security practices.
A lack of alignment between information security staff, the business, the C-Suite and the Board of Directors is a key challenge in many organisations today. For the Chief Information Security Officer, gaining top-down support is a key determinant for future success. For the Board, inadequate security poses a significant threat to shareholder value. Bridging the divide between technical and management staff is therefore an essential element of organisational success and synergy.
Our C-Suite Workshop is designed to build cyber leadership insights and practices within organisations. We offer real world experience for business leaders to work with their technology teams to create risk-based information security strategies for their organisations. Our experts will engage your team through a dynamic and interactive session on information security management, its challenges and pathways to maturity and resilience.
