In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, executives at the helm bear a critical responsibility. They must not only proactively fortify cyber resilience but also swiftly navigate responses to thwart attacks within organizational networks. This session delves deep into the essential traits required to achieve cyber resilience and readiness. It emphasizes that cyber readiness extends beyond mere static preparedness; instead, it embodies a continuous vigilance. Organizations must assess their standing, prepare comprehensively, simulate attacks to refine security measures, promptly detect and neutralize threats, and respond and recover swiftly to minimize business impact. This comprehensive approach serves as the bedrock for maintaining organizational continuity and bolstering the overall security posture amidst the dynamic cybersecurity landscape.

About Me
Andy Jenkinson is a senior and seasoned innovative Executive with over 30 years' experience as a
hands-on lateral thinking CEO, coach, and leader. A 'big deal' business accelerator, and inspira-
tional, lateral thinker, Andy has crafted, created, and been responsible for delivering 100’s £mil-

livery and management within many sectors including the Professional, Managed, and Financial
Services.
Andy was one of the first, and very few people to discover the plethora of insecure SolarWinds
domains post their massive cyberattack in 2020. It has since been proven that Andy’s version of
the attack (and hundreds of others) that an insecure subdomain being hijacked and replaced by a
nefarious website being stood up, has now become common knowledge. It has subsequently
been accepted as being the initial access and root cause of the initial infiltration (Sunburst). Andy’s
research and paper was presented to the United States Senate Intelligence Committee overseeing
the SolarWinds breach in January 2021.
Following on from the success of Andy’s first book, Stuxnet to Sunburst, 20 years of digital ex-
ploitation and cyber warfare, Andy’s second book which collated his experience and in-depth
research of over 1000 companies, all of whom have been victims of cyber and ransomware attacks
is titled Ransomware and Cybercrime. This book was published in June 2022.
In 2022 Andy was commissioned to author his third book on the Ukraine and Russian cyberwars
that acted as a precursor to the all-out offensive that commenced on the 24 February 2022. This
book is titled Digital Blood on Their Hands.

A CISO Needs to Meet Their Board’s Expectations, Communicate Effectively with Them, and Earn Their Trust. What’s the Best Approach?
The CISO plays a critical role in communicating with the board of an organisation, ensuring that cybersecurity concerns are effectively conveyed and understood. This communication involves presenting comprehensive risk assessments, threat landscapes, and the effectiveness of current security measures. The CISO must articulate complex technical concepts in a business-friendly language, emphasising the potential impact of cyber threats on the organisation's overall strategy and objectives. Additionally, regular updates on cybersecurity initiatives, compliance status, and incident response plans are crucial to maintaining the board's confidence. Successful CISO-board communication enhances the organisation's cyber resilience, aligning security efforts with broader business goals.
