CSO Event: State of Security Management – Next Steps

This session is a follow-on to the discussion at the CSO Center during GSX 2022 in Atlanta.  Co-authors of ASIS Foundation sponsored “State of Security Management” study will share more details of the findings as well as their perspectives on where we go from here.  

The study makes recommendations that focus on areas such as education and certification, brand and reputation management for the profession, the need to expand the scope of risk assessments and other management thinking.  Other topics include the use of data analytics and improved metrics for decision making, further integration of ESRM, and developing marketing strategies to bolster the security management profession.  This session will include time for a conversation on what the findings mean to you as a senior security executive, and ideas you may have on how the results can be transformed into actionable steps for the profession.
