In today’s connected world where organizations are increasingly reliant on remote work, the potential for cyberattacks has grown dramatically. The World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2021 puts cybersecurity failure as the fourth most significant global risk today.[1] With a world-class faculty and state-of-the-art labs producing groundbreaking research, NYU Tandon is at the forefront of cybersecurity studies. The CISO Program provides participants with the opportunity to:
- Acquire the tools to assess and quantify IT risks and develop an information security road map that aligns with their organization’s growth trajectory
- Explore new and emerging technologies and the latest trends in cybersecurity
- Craft their journey based on their learning goals, with an immersive core curriculum to broaden their skill set and a choice of electives to further deepen their expertise
- Learn from world-renowned faculty, seasoned industry experts, and accomplished global peers.
The CISO program is an exceptional opportunity for senior professionals to gain the holistic perspective required to succeed as a cybersecurity leader.
Jim Routh, the program’s faculty director and a member of the NYU Cyber Fellows Advisory Council, is an industry leader in digital transformation and innovation in cybersecurity practices. He notes that the program is beneficial for newly appointed CISOs (or equivalent) and rising cybersecurity professionals who want to step into leadership roles. “The one-size-fits-all model of compliance-based cybersecurity no longer works as threat actors can easily exploit vulnerabilities across enterprises. Instead, organizations now need to implement risk-driven cybersecurity programs,” he said. “The CISO Program has been designed to equip participants with the skills and frameworks to lead information security strategy and build an enterprise-wide cybersecurity culture,” says Routh.
