Please join us on Friday September 13, 2024 for Super Cyber Friday.

Our topic of discussion will be “Hacking Leadership Skills: An hour of critical thinking about building the skills you need to succeed.”

Joining David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series for this discussion will be:

Alexandra Landegger, executive director and CISO, Collins Aerospace

Jodie Lash, cybersecurity senior director, FanDuel

In preparation for our discussion, think about the following:

What are the most critical leadership skills needed to succeed in a cybersecurity role today?

When should you start building leadership skills if your career path?

How can a CISO effectively develop and refine their leadership abilities over time? Do they need those skills in place before they can get that role?

What role does continuous learning play in building and maintaining strong leadership skills?

How can cybersecurity leaders balance technical expertise with strategic thinking to drive success?

How can leaders foster a culture of accountability and trust within their cybersecurity teams?

What strategies can be used to develop emotional intelligence as a core component of leadership?

How can CISOs and other leaders stay adaptable and responsive in a rapidly changing security landscape?

What are the common challenges in building leadership skills, and how can they be overcome?

How can mentorship and networking contribute to the development of essential leadership skills?

It all starts at 1 PM Eastern/10 AM Pacific. At the end of the hour [2 PM Eastern/11 AM Pacific] we'll switch gears to our meetup where everyone will get a chance to chat face to face.

Best bad ideas get first responses in "Department of YES" or “Beat the Bad Idea”.

The BEST bad idea wins an award and a really awesome CISO Series jacket. Also, if you register early by the Tuesday (5pm PT) of that week’s video chat, you will be entered into a raffle where one lucky register will win a jacket (Winners must be US residents. Repeat winners get a $25 Amazon gift card).

Super Cyber Fridays are open discussions where all viewers and listeners are welcome to become participants. Before the scheduled event, connect your webcam and microphone (avoid Bluetooth). During the discussion, if you have a question or comment, let it be known in the chat room and our producer will do his best to get as many of you into the conversation. We look forward to you joining us.
