Security Compliance and Leadership with Chris Brenton

In this course, we will cover all of the steps needed to stand up and lead a security team within an organization. We start with a clean slate so that every aspect gets covered. If you are in an environment that already has a security team, this can help fill in the gaps. This course will have a heavy focus on how to integrate the security team with the rest of the business units. We’ll look at strategies for increasing funding, as well as converting “security risks” into “business risks” so they are better understood by the organization’s leadership. The course includes a lot of collateral like a full set of pre-written security policies. The goal is to help you build an effective security team in as little time as possible.
