Mark Parr on Securing Board Support for Cybersecurity Initiatives​

ThreatCast

Join Paul O’Sullivan, Threatscape’s UK Sales Director, for this episode of ThreatCast as he sits down with Mark Parr, Head of Technology at Buzzacott, to discuss achieving board-level buy-in for cyber security strategy, the importance of digital skills and employee support, and the challenges (and benefits) of investing in a strong cyber posture.
Key Bullet Points

• What can a non-traditional career journey into IT and cyber security look like, and are there certain industries which lend themselves to a shift towards cyber?
• How can cyber leaders ensure that the technical aspects of security are briefed to the board in a meaningful, digestible way?
• What is the most challenging element of Mark’s role as Head of Technology?
• Ideally, should a CISO be more technical or commercially minded? Or is there room for a mixture?
• How can identifying key stakeholders help with delivering change?
• In which ways has the cyber industry evolved in recent years, and could further diversification improve the landscape?
• Are gaps in digital skills being adequately addressed?
