Please join us on Friday February 21, 2025 for Super Cyber Friday.

Our topic of discussion will be “Hacking Metrics That Matter: An hour of critical thinking about finding what you need to measure to improve your security program.”

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

Frederico Hakamine, Technology Evangelist, Axonius

James Killgore, sr. mgr., information security, WideOrbit

In preparation for our discussion, think about the following:

What are vanity metrics? Why do they persist?

How can we use metrics to show “safety” to the business?

What do metrics need to show to matter to the organization?

What frameworks are available to help frame metrics?

How do you start applying a framework to your existing metrics collection?

Do your metrics make it obvious what you need to do next?

How can you pivot metrics to tell a story to the wider business?

Why does it feel other areas of the business are more mature in their use of metrics to tell a story?

What can we learn from other areas of the business to tell a better story with metrics?

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.
