Description
This interactive workshop is designed for mid-career cybersecurity professionals who want to increase their impact by strengthening how they communicate, position risk, and influence decisions. As security roles evolve, technical expertise alone is no longer enough to secure buy-in, budget, or advancement. This session focuses on the skills that directly enable hard outcomes.
Participants assess how they currently communicate value and risk to leadership, then learn to translate technical work into clear business narratives. The workshop focuses on framing cybersecurity initiatives as business use cases, defining success criteria, and presenting investment decisions in language boards and executives understand.
Attendees practice building concise, executive-ready stories that connect security outcomes to business impact and create a focused 12-month plan to increase visibility and influence without burnout. Participants leave with practical language, proven frameworks, and the confidence to secure support for meaningful technical outcomes.
