You’ve been the CISO at your current organization for 3 years and you’re thinking about what to do next.
Congrats, you are at the 3-year flex!
At RSAC in 2023, Lenny Zeltser and Yael Nagler introduce the 3-year flex.
In their talk, they discuss a framework for security leaders to use when evaluating and preparing for the next chapter in their professional journey.
With a recognition that sometimes you just need to ‘leave’ – the focus of their discussion was around the options for staying.
There are 3 options CISOs should consider:
- Keep at it
- Slow it down
- Accelerate
They also present a structure for reflecting on the situation to help inform the path forward that includes:
- The security program
- Your leadership
- The company
This blog will be updated in early May to provide the context and scope of that discussion as well as updated with a link to the presentation when it’s available.
If you were at the talk and are interested in the summary notes – please feel free to reference the links below.
