Connector Events

See the Big Picture

IANS Connector Events bring together small groups of

senior-level information security professionals from a

broad spectrum of industries and experiences for

facilitated deep-dive discussions of important challenges

and solutions in the information security space.

Your community is a resource: through intimate peer-to-

peer conversations around common issues, solutions,

and suggestions for improvement, you’ll gain insight into

varying perspectives and develop new ideas to accelerate

your problem-solving efforts.

Most business leaders view information

security risk as separate from business

risk. Why? And how can we change this?

IANS’ research into CISO Impact shows that business

leaders often view information security risk as separate

from other classes of risk they manage. As a result,

security teams are chronically under-resourced and

under-appreciated. How can we shift the way that

business leaders think and operate?

At a recent event, we posed the question:

“There is still a slight

disconnect between the

P&L owners recognizing

their risks and being able

to afford the smart and

necessary remediations.”

“…systematic

meetings do not

take place.”

Attendees discussed the challenges …

“Current executive

team… does not fully

understand the

importance of managing

business risk as it relates

to security threats”

… and through that discussion, shared

thoughts on how to address the problem.

• Work with C-Level Executives to tie business

leaders’ compensation to ameliorating security risks.

• Create competition among business leaders by

implementing and publishing ‘wall of shame’ metrics

for information security compliance.

• Establish formal information security training,

mandatory for all business leaders and their reports,

with completion tracked and visible to leadership.

At at Connector

Event, you will:

• Gain insight into the challenges and roadblocks

you and your peers share.

• Learn about new and unique approaches to

common issues and topics

• Take away problem-solving ideas that you can

apply in your own organization.
