“

- Hiring a Chief Information Security Officer is one of the hardest roles for organizations to fill, as well as the most difficult role to land as an aspiring cyber security executive. Getting hired as a CISO is a highly competitive process. It requires a specific skill set, background, leadership, qualities, and business acumen that signal you are the right person for the job. Hi, I'm Jerich Beason and I am a CISO three times over and I've consulted and advised security executives across various industries and three letter government agencies. I've seen the role of Chief Information Security Officer evolve from a highly technical expert to a board ready and business savvy executive who can hold their own in a data center and on stage. I'll give you the resources necessary to land that gig and the tools to succeed from structuring your first 90 days, to building solid strategies and best practices. Let's get started, so we can get you into that CISO chair.
