In the Leadership and Communications section, Being concerned is not enough – What boards should know and do about cybersecurity, In the Case of Cybersecurity, the Best Defense is Education, Reskilling workers can help meet the cybersecurity staffing challenge, and more!   Defining Cyber Risk With Bryan Ware This year, RSAC is happening amidst the backdrop of major geopolitical tensions with cyber impacts; a continued, lingering pandemic and a potential economic downturn that cyber adversaries can and have leveraged to their benefit; and increasing technological innovation. All of this points toward ever-evolving cyber risk. What are some of the key considerations that executives – both ones with cyber expertise and ones without – should keep in mind as they look to not only define cyber risk but also reduce it and ensure operational resiliency? In this segment, we’ll hear thoughts from Bryan Ware, the new CEO of LookingGlass Cyber Solutions, former CEO of Next5, a business intelligence and advisory firm, and the first presidentially appointed Assistant Director of Cybersecurity at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Cyber risk management is now a dynamic practice for security teams and leadership. It requires up-to-date risk intelligence across many factors – external, internal, third parties, cloud posture – to inform the right decisions and enable cyber risk quantification and risk modeling to be more dynamic. Victor will discuss what drove him to leave security leadership and start a company to solve the problems he experienced with cyber risk management and how the market is responding.
