Seven Habits of an Effective IT Security and Compliance Professional

In this session, the speaker will share the lessons he learned as an IT security and compliance professional for almost 15 years, and why these lessons can help the audience's organizations in dramatically maximizing return on cybersecurity investment and mitigating cybersecurity risk. He will talk about how to "right size" the combination of the people, process and technology aspects of enforcing IT governance, risk and compliance in the audience's organizations. For instance, he will point out why the best software security solution is useless when it cannot work with the "peopleware" aspect of an organization. He will also talk about the role of the IT compliance professional in bridging the gap between IT professionals within the organization and everyone else, and why this bridge is extremely vital.
