Please join us on Friday January 19, 2024 for Super Cyber Friday.

Our topic of discussion will be “Hacking Security Audits: An hour of critical thinking of how to improve this vital process.”

Joining David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series for this discussion will be:

Leith Khanafseh, managing director, assurance & compliance products, Thoropass

Rose Songer, director, IT and compliance, Spring Health

In preparation for our discussion, think about the following:

What is the current state of your security audits?

What’s working, and not working, with your audits?

Where have you seen innovation with security audits?

What are the structural issues that reduce audits to checking boxes?

What role does automation play in modernizing audits?

How do you link audit findings to measuring the effectiveness of security controls?

How can we move away from seeing security audits as a “necessary evil?”

How can organizations use audits to create a security program that’s both compliance and security-driven?

It all starts at 1 PM Eastern/10 AM Pacific. At the end of the hour [2 PM Eastern/11 AM Pacific] we'll switch gears to our meetup where everyone will get a chance to chat face to face.

Best bad ideas get first responses in "Department of YES" or “Beat the Bad Idea”.

The BEST bad idea wins an award and a really awesome CISO Series jacket. Also, if you register early by the Tuesday (5pm PT) of that week’s video chat, you will be entered into a raffle where one lucky register will win a jacket (Winners must be US residents. Repeat winners get a $25 Amazon gift card).

Super Cyber Fridays are open discussions where all viewers and listeners are welcome to become participants. Before the scheduled event, connect your webcam and microphone (avoid Bluetooth). During the discussion, if you have a question or comment, let it be known in the chat room and our producer will do his best to get as many of you into the conversation. We look forward to you joining us.
