CISOs are the senior information security executives for universities, and as such they have to be experienced IT leaders and knowledgeable about security. They influence leaders all around the university, with little or no formal authority. The speaker will introduce the competencies necessary to be a successful CISO and why they are critical for success; give an introduction to leadership itself, contrasting it with management and emphasizing its importance; talk in detail about conflict resolution; explore the reasons for conflict, differentiating good and bad conflict; and provide a framework for resolving healthy conflict.
