Overview
Cisco’s CISO Workshop is a two-day session that explores cybersecurity program design from the unique vantage point of the Chief Information Security Officer. The workshop implements a methodology for developing an enterprise security and information assurance architecture that is aligned with the CISO and CISO’s extended team’s need to support critical business initiatives. Unlike other vendor-sponsored events, the CISO Workshop is not a thinly veiled product pitch. This in-depth tutorial is filled with actionable tips, best practices from your peers, and hands-on knowledge that CISOs can take back to their organization and put into practice.
We’ve designed this workshop specifically for CISOs and other senior security executives. In addition to overseeing the Security Operations (SecOps) team and related staff and budgets, these leaders are responsible for protecting corporate assets, ensuring regulatory and audit compliance, and preserving business continuity in the face of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. Their purview extends well beyond technology tools, and this workshop covers topics that address their broad scope of responsibility.
This workshop is for:
• CISO/Security Leadership and their teams
• Security Strategy & Architecture
• Security Operations
• Enterprise Architects
IT Risk Practitioners and similar roles
• IT, DevSecOps and Network Operations practitioners
• Cloud Architects
Why attend this workshop?
The knowledge shared in this workshop couldn’t be more timely. The role of the CISO has become one of the most consequential in all of corporate leadership. The security organization stands as the essential defense against breaches that, on average, cost businesses $4.35 million per incident. But the growing complexity of IT environments can make securing those environments enormously challenging. Hybrid and remote work environments extend the attack surface, while busy and distracted employees remain attackers’ No. 1 targets, with more than eight out of 10 breaches involving the human element. Designing a cybersecurity program that closes the gaps commonly found in security architectures has become a business imperative. That’s why Cisco developed the CISO Workshop.

What you’ll gain:
A business-driven approach to cybersecurity: By attending this workshop, you’ll come away with the critical elements you’ll need to model a businessdriven approach to cyber security. You will learn techniques and best practices that will help you:
• Build a security architecture mapped to your business initiatives.
• Justify your cybersecurity spend by demonstrating how your cybersecurity program mitigates business risks.
• Model a cybersecurity program board members can understand.
• Map your business priorities to relevant security capabilities following a proven, top-down approach that sees security elements in terms of how they protect the business (as opposed to focusing on security product features for their own sake).
• Bring measurable value and repeatable, reportable results to your cybersecurity program with performance metrics that business stakeholders will understand.
• Communicate the value of your cybersecurity program to board members and other stakeholders.
• Build a resilient, efficient, and effective cybersecurity program—and achieve optimal return on your security investment.

“There was a clear business message in the presentation which wasn’t just technology focused as seen with other vendors.”
Carlo Bartolucci Senior Architect Leading University in Art & Design
“We started with the business requirements and goals, which we were able to leverage in multiple projects and programs. We mapped from the high level down through the operational structure. They used the SABSA® framework, which was refreshing to see.”
Raj Sharma Global CISO, Computers & Electronics Manufacturer
“Being able to have that business context linked to the controls required to protect and enable was invaluable.”
Mark Graham, Security Executive, Investment Banking
