vCISO Pathway: From Analyst to CISO

About this event

Every path we've walked this fall ends up in the same room: the one where somebody decides what a company spends on security, which risks it accepts, and how to explain all of it to people who don't speak cyber. That's the CISO's job. A vCISO, or virtual CISO, does that job for companies that don't have or don't need a full-time one. It's Veterans Day, which fits. Tyrone enlisted in the Army in February 1996, has spent the 30 years since in IT and cybersecurity, and today runs a vCISO practice. Tonight he walks you through that road and what the job really looks like once you get there. To everyone who served: thank you. This one is network-wide. HQ in the DMV, Atlanta, and South Florida on the same call. 🎯 What We'll Cover \- What a CISO and a vCISO actually do\, and how the two jobs differ \- The first 90 days with a new client: the assessment\, the risk register\, and the first report to leadership \- Translating risk for people who don't speak cyber \- How to get there from wherever you're starting\, and the certs that matter \(CISSP\, CISM\) Hosted by Tyrone E.
