The Experience Groups of the CISO community Nederland mainly focus on the challenges and developments within information security and cybersecurity. Six topics have been formulated by the board of CISO Platform Nederland, but they are dynamic and move with the times.
Essential to ensure the resilience and operational integrity of an organization after a cyber attack or other disruption, business continuity involves preparation for and restoration of business operations. The integration of offensive and defensive cyber models and strategies is important here.
Leadership is essential to developing effective cybersecurity strategies and policies. Organizations need to rethink and future-proof their cyber operating models and governance structures.
The CISO’s role is broad. Technical knowledge and management skills for operations and business are essential, as are personal competencies such as soft skills, communication skills, leadership, and stakeholder management. “Infinite game skills” and a stoic mindset are useful as well.
The cybersecurity sector needs to address workforce shortages, but it also has an opportunity to accelerate the development of essential skills. ‘Old and wise’ experts can collaborate with ‘young and ambitious’ professionals. This group includes anything that helps build a resilient talent pool.
New technologies, strategies, and ways of thinking to improve security and stay proactive are the focus here. These are crucial to the evolution and effectiveness of cybersecurity, given rapid technological advances and the ever-changing nature of threats.
Technology plays an essential role in cybersecurity. Cyber threats are evolving rapidly. Areas of technology that are fundamental to the protection of information systems and infrastructure is the focus of his group.
