CISO 2.0: The Leadership Qualities Required by Today's Chief Information Security Officers to Dominate the Discussion at the 2017 Atlanta CISO Executive Leadership Summit
ATLANTA, Sept. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Once relied upon solely to protect the enterprise's information security assets, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) have taken on more expansive roles in driving business innovation, aligning security with business goals, and in shaping the organization's risk tolerance. The opportunities and challenges posed by these developments, along with the leadership traits needed to succeed in today's ever-changing cyber landscape, will be the key topics of discuss at the upcoming 2017 Atlanta CISO Executive Leadership Summit produced by HMG Strategy, to be held on September 27, 2017 at The St. Regis Atlanta.
"CISOs have two critical and distinct roles in the enterprise - as organizational experts in addressing new and emerging cyber threats and as trusted advisors to the executive team in aligning the organization's cybersecurity strategy with its enterprise risk management strategy," said Hunter Muller, HMG Strategy's President & CEO. "CISOs that can successfully lead the organization into the next era of business transformation while protecting its information assets position themselves and their companies to succeed."
The Atlanta CISO Executive Leadership Summit will open with a compelling executive keynote presented by Israel Martinez, Chairman Global Manufacturing ISAO & CEO, Axon Global who has worked on President Trump's 100-Day Team and will share his perspective on the high-level direction of the Trump Administration on critical issues such as cyber security and policy making as it pertains both to the public and private sectors.
