Global CISO Forum 2016 Announces Theme: The Butterfly Effects of Strong Information Security Leadership

ATLANTA, GA (PRWEB) JULY 11, 2016

EC-Council Foundation’s series of Global CISO Forums has made waves in the information security industry and this year will be no exception. The theme for the 2016 edition of the Global CISO Forum is “The Butterfly Effects of Strong Information Security Leadership.” The conference will be an opportunity for the speakers and audience to explore the ways their leadership impacts their teams, organizations, and careers. The reason for the theme selection was the organizing committee behind the Forum felt it was time leaders realize the ripple effects of each of their actions and decisions. This ripple effect can be felt in everything from technology purchases to team leadership to hiring decisions to audit response. Says Ron Baklarz, CISO at Amtrak and member of the EC-Council Foundation CISO Event Committee, “So often information security is looked at as individual domains, like risk management in this box, audit in this box, vendor management in this box, etc. With the theme this year we’re hoping to pull back a little and really look at how nothing exists in its own box.”
