“Making job searching and hiring simpler.”
The cyber security job searching process is broken and our communities understanding of risk has just begun!
● Tired of wasting my time talking to recruiters who don’t understand what they’re looking for.
● Tired of wasting time talking to recruiters that don’t understand what I do! ● I don’t respond to ads on job boards● I never hear back. No one has good follow-up● Looking for a new job is frustrating and awful!

What CyberSN hears all day long!
Average retention of Chief Information Security Officers (CISO) is only 12 months!
Risk and Compliance
Compliance based security is NOT enough.
Risk and compliance relies on all C-Levels.
“Making job searching and hiring simpler.”
WHERE DO WE START?
Roles and responsibilities need a common language
• Security is too wide to master, too deep to know, and too vast to picture without teamwork between all C-Levels
• CISO’s take on everything themselves • High Stress and Nerve Racking• No Organizational Support outside of Information Technology
Cyber security is a business unit and technology is a tool.
“Making job searching and hiring simpler.”
CISOs need to evolve into Chief Business Security Officers (CBSO)
• Responsible for effectively and efficiently implementing security and business communications, policies, and process controls to ensure that corporate assets, client data and funds are protected for their organization
• Understand that Information Security and Information risk are business issues
• Be Influencers, protectors AND responders
Cyber security is a business unit and technology is a tool.

What is the role of a CBSO?
To structure information security processes and business processes allowing tactical and strategic deployment of protection processes that meet actual business risk, business compliance requirements, and align to business costs.
Manage the security organization like a business within a business

What is the CBSO Mandate?
This is the mandate of the Chief Business Security Officer!
