Strategic Security Governance Rooted in Business Reality – Perspectives from a Global CISO
Masato Yamanishi,
Olympus Corporation / SVP , Global CISO
As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, security departments are expected to demonstrate greater business acumen and accountability than ever before. In this session, we will explore a strategic approach to security governance through the following three key pillars:
1. Optimizing Security Investment Utilizing the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework to visualize risks—analyzing impact, probability, and vulnerability—in a way that allows for direct comparison with other corporate priorities.
2. Risk Layering and Structuring A systematic approach to organizing risks across corporate infrastructure, products, and suppliers, and translating those risks into actionable projects.
3. The Next Generation of Security Talent Moving beyond technical expertise to focus on ""business literacy"" and ""strategic balance."" This includes organizational strategies for effectively leveraging external partners as true subject matter experts.
This session provides a practical guide for translating operational challenges into the language of executive management to build a truly effective and resilient security organization. ... Show More Show Less
