Thursday, 15 May 2025

3:00 – 4:00 pm (BST)

Advance your cyber security career

As cyber security threats grow more complex, organisations increasingly rely on senior IT security managers or CISOs to bridge the gap between technical teams and executive leadership. By 2025, global demand for CISOs is projected to increase by 30%, making this a pivotal time for professionals aspiring to take on leadership roles in cyber security.

Transitioning into a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) role requires more than technical expertise – it demands strategic thinking, effective risk management, and the ability to communicate cyber security priorities at the board level.

This webinar equips senior cyber security professionals with the tools, insights, and strategies needed to prepare for board-level leadership roles.

  • Growing from technical roles to leadership positions.
  • Shifting your mindset from operational to strategic.
  • Managing risk, compliance, and incident response at scale.
