11th e-Crime & Cybersecurity Mid-Year Summit 2019 | AKJ Associates Ltd | 17 October 2019 | Victoria Park Plaza, 239 Vauxhall Bridge Road London, SW1V 1EQ UK

Digital transformation is the key to business success. Cybersecurity is the key to digitalisation. There is a huge shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals. So there has never been a better time to be a CISO... right?

Maybe not.

As companies claim to recognise the strategic importance of cybersecurity, they have been piling ever more responsibility onto CISOs and their teams, but rarely increasing resources commensurately.

The CISO can now be any or all of: project manager, policy maker, compliance officer, designer of procedures, in-depth technologist and expert on everything from threat intelligence to DNS hacks, RFPer and POCer, incident response manager, SOC manager... the list goes on.

On top of all that, CISOs are increasingly expected to be able to interact with boards and provide assurance to clients, shareholders and other key stakeholders.

This is not a viable or reasonable job description, and it goes some way to explaining why so many CISOs are changing companies, joining vendors, becoming consultants, or even getting out of cybersecurity completely. CISO burnout is now a trending conversation.

The 11th e-Crime & Cybersecurity Congress Mid-Year Summit will look at the fundamental issues which underlie CISO overload. There will be real-life case studies, strategic talks and technical break-out sessions from the security and privacy teams behind some of the world's most forward-thinking companies, with their solutions to the current problems in cybersecurity.
