Tuesday Cyber Lacuna Slide (Bench Strength)

As leaders we should focus on enabling and sponsoring others to lead from the table where they are at or where they will be. As things are, we need to remember to lead with our bench strength. If your bench strength is not ready, what's your plan? They need to feel the plan, not just hear about it.

Cyber Lacuna Slide: Use meetings to identify times your Bench Strength is not present or engaged in your business process.

Tuesday Cyber Lacuna Slide (Shadow Leadership)

Cyber Lacuna Slide: Be wary of a culture that lets you lead from where you are. And is not able to acknowledge or see you lead from where you are at. Shadow leadership is enabled by the needs on which culture’s light is unable to shine. Scratch shadow leadership, I mean shadow IT. Shadow leadership is not shown to exist.

Tuesday Cyber Lacuna Slide (Sponsoring The CISO)

Cyber Lacuna Slide: Sponsoring the CISO - Before deciding what kind of CISO you need, know and understand how you are able and willing to sponsor your CISO within the business. Whether IT or business focused, the CISO will consider your expressed willingness to sponsor the role.

Tuesday Cyber Lacuna Slide (Make Breakfast) – Even if a day late.

Cyber Lacuna Slide: If culture eats strategy for breakfast, then make breakfast. Almost anything fed to the culture without enabling the culture and advocating for a feeling of material belonging to the strategy will likely not be appetizing to the culture. Remind those in the culture they belong. If you can't invite everyone to the table at least leave them a key to the strategy where they sit. Let them know how their work has, is, and will impact the strategy.

Tuesday Cyber Lacuna Slide (CISO Is Not a Checkbox Title)

Cyber Lacuna Slide: CISO is not a checkbox title. It is a position in the C-suite. The discussion is not where to place your CISO. The discussion is do you need a CISO. Many organizations need Director of Information Security, ISO, Head of Cybersecurity, etc. Not every organization needs a CISO in the C-suite.

Tuesday Cyber Lacuna Slide - Summer Retreat (CISO as a Strategic Partner)

Cyber Lacuna Slide: The CISO needs to be accepted and expected to be a strategic business partner for the business. Too often business sees information security or cyber security as IT. This makes it even harder for business to see the value of having a partner to advocate for the security of the business processes for which they are responsible. If the CISO does not have a seat at the table, they need to make sure they have security staff embedded in the units at the functional level to enable business while advocating for security. The CISO needs liaisons, business information security analysts, cyber security strategic partners, or whatever you want to call them that understand lines of business. Security has not been just a technical IT issue for a long time.
