SUMMARY:ReThink Everything! SIG: Turning Cyber Risk into Boardroom Confidence
DESCRIPTION:When:\nThursday\, December 11th\n12:00 – 1:00pm ET \nWhere:\nVirtual\nUnited States \nContact:\nBill Waas\nbillw@simnet.org \n  \nTurning Cyber Risk into Boardroom Confidence: Quantifying risk in a way all stakeholders can understand\nToday’s boardrooms don’t just want to know if you’re secure—they want to know how cyber risk decisions drive business outcomes. Yet too often\, cybersecurity metrics stop at compliance checkboxes or technical jargon that fails to connect with strategy. \nThis discussion will explore how organizations can transform cyber governance and risk data into actionable intelligence that fuels better decision-making\, builds trust with leadership\, and creates measurable business advantage. \nWe’ll feature insights from a leading cyber governance expert\, a customer who’s operationalized these principles\, and a facilitator guiding the conversation through real-world challenges and solutions. \nAt the center of this discussion is Metrics that Matter — a practical framework and solution developed by Consortium Networks that helps CISOs\, risk leaders\, and boards speak the same language when it comes to cybersecurity performance and value. \n  \nREGISTER HERE

In this session\, the authors of the GRC.Engineering Manifesto reimagine GRC as an engineered capability\, not a back-office function. They’ll share how forward-thinking IT leaders can embed governance\, risk\, and compliance into their systems\, culture\, and architecture—creating “compliant-by-design” environments that move as fast as their business. Attendees will learn pragmatic steps to shift-left on trust\, treat GRC as a product\, and use automation and data engineering to turn audits into assurance and compliance into competitive advantage. \nCOST TO ATTEND:\nFree for SIM Members.\n$30 for non-members.\nEmployees of SIM Members are welcome to attend for free – please email digirisk@simnet.org for a promo code to register.  \nPlease sign in to receive member pricing for you and your staff.  \nATTENDEE SUPPORT:\nIf you have trouble registering or need to renew your SIM membership\, please email sim@simnet.org. \nIf you require special assistance of any kind\, please call us at 800.387.9746 or email us at digirisk@simnet.org. \n  \nRegister Here\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

What happens when two senior-level CISO executives step away from the technical talk and share the real stories behind their success? \nThe (Un)Common Ground Storytelling Series\, a collaborative initiative between SIM\, ITSMF\, and HITEC\, invites you into a powerful conversation where leadership meets humanity. In this session\, we’ll explore the parallels and contrasts that define these executives’ paths — their pivotal career moments\, challenges overcome\, lessons in self-advocacy\, and how intersectionality has shaped who they are as leaders. \nThis isn’t a performance. It’s personal. Since its launch in 2020\, the (Un)Common Ground Series has become a signature experience where senior leaders connect on a deeper level and rising professionals gain an authentic glimpse into what it truly takes to reach the C-suite. \nJoin us for an honest\, inspiring\, and refreshingly human dialogue that will leave you reflecting on your own leadership journey — and the uncommon ground we all share.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”diagonal” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” heading_tag=”h1″ color=”extra-color-gradient-2″ text=”“SIM H1 Blue Gradient Header“ – Used for main page title or where you want the largest text – Biggest Header – Blue Gradient Color” margin_top=”” margin_right=”” margin_bottom=”” margin_left=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

In this interactive roundtable where you and your peers will share their current strategies\, successes\, and sticking points in building a culture of security. We’ll explore: \n\nWhich tactics actually engage employees (and which fall flat)\nHow to overcome common challenges like “training fatigue” or lack of buy-in\nCreative approaches to keep security top-of-mind year-round\n\nThis is a chance for you to compare notes\, exchange ideas\, and walk away with practical takeaways you can apply in your own program. Whether you’re leading a mature awareness initiative or just getting started\, you’ll gain fresh perspectives from others facing the same real-world challenges. \n*This session will not be recorded to ensure the confidentiality of statements made by participants under Chatham House Rule.* \nAbout the Moderator:\n  \n \nDaniel Gorecki is the CISO at NGC Risk.
