Board of Directors / CISO Interaction: Getting Aligned
Board Members privately remark that they too often leave a CISO’s board discussion more confused than when they started. CISOs often refer to their Board meetings as ‘hostile territory’. Clearly, we need to get better
aligned here.
Using an interview format, IANS’ CEO Phil Gardner will solicit input from selected CISOs on how they have learned to improve their board effectiveness and impact. The discussion will get specific and address:
- How long should your Board presentation be?
- Should your Board presentation use a risk framework and, if so, which one?
- When should you use benchmarking data with the Board? When is it a bad idea?
This session concludes with a role-playing exercise. For the exercise, you will pair up with another attendee and role play the interaction between a Board Member and a CISO (and vice versa) around justifying the return around a significant proposed
cyber budget increase.

Cyber Insurance is Growing Up…CISOs, Are You Ready?
Not-Petya and other breaches have accelerated the adoption of cyber insurance by the Fortune 1000, yet CISOs are too often removed from this critical risk management purchase. The session’s goal is to change this.
The session is a moderated discussion between the CISO attendees and executives from leading cyber insurance underwriting and brokerage firms.
The session will start with a review of the market’s current cyber insurance products and then will
address:
- Why buy cyber insurance? For risk transfer, risk mitigation or something else?
- Do cyber insurance policies really pay out when a breach occurs?
- How do you determine appropriate cyber insurance coverage limits?
- How do you demystify complex policy language?
Panelists:

Crisis Management Workshop with The Brunswick Group
Drawing on lessons from Equifax’ 2017 data breach, Siobhan Gorman and Andrew Gernt from the Brunswick Group will lead a crisis management workshop that seeks to improve your cyber incident response acumen and skills.
The majority of the session is devoted to a real world, hands-on cyber incident that you work through with your peers. From the exercise, you’ll gain a better sense of how difficult it is to make informed decisions with limited information,
irate customers and reporters demanding answers on a (very) tight timeline.
3:15 PM - 4:15 PM
