I get to speak to a masters in cyber security class at a major university on Monday. They are learning about interacting with senior leadership/BoD on topics of cyber risk. I have many stories to share with them, but curious if y’all have any ideas on what you thank that group should know
@jerry This is broader than just risk, but my advice on talking to top leadership is to pay very close attention to the questions they ask. They are trying to make decisions about what the company should do, and if you are talking to them, it's likely because someone thinks you have information that could help them make that decision.
Have understandable answers and plan for the follow-up questions. Identify the key points you think the leaders need to know but may not know to ask.

@jerry Also, it absolutely has to be established that Infosec runs the investigation, and can be allowed to turn things off. I once ran an incident communications workshop where the PR dept. said flatly: we will be running the investigation, as if they knew anything about systems. They wanted to govern the story completely.

@Sempf @da_667 @DamonHD @jerry sure, its totally possible for people to be nerds and that not match their major. ive just encountered so many people with a 'masters in cybercyber' that dont have even basic experience, like installing an os or configuring a linksys its tainted the whole degree for me

I should probably figure out what cyber security means before I go speak to a masters class about cyber security.
@jerry It’s when you “cyber” securely, e.g. door closed, lights off, all alone.

@jerry
Risk, as a cost -
@jerry relating any recommendations to financial impact is all they care about. How much it will cost to implement, vs. how much it'll cost if we don't implement it.

@jerry Also generally, security risk frameworks don't align with financial risks. To quote Jacquith, how do controls relate to business value? This is the problem they're going to have to solve.

@jerry have you read the CISO Report?

@jerry if it is a professional focus - maybe something along the lines of "it is about influencing people, not saying no to them"
