Advancing the CISO Profession: Introducing DPI’s Advisory Board of Experts
For the development of its CISO track, the Data Protection Institute is proud to announce that it can count on the support of an Advisory Board that consists of highly qualified and talented individuals who are all active in the field of cybersecurity.
The Advisory Board was established in September 2022, recognizing the need for the CISO training program to keep pace with current organizational and societal developments.
DPI is privileged to be able to count on such an impressive set of skills and experience that will help us push the training track of the Chief Information Security Officer to a higher level. To paraphrase Isaac Newton: “If we can see a little further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”
The different backgrounds of our Advisory Board members, highly qualified CISOs or Security Directors themselves, and their contribution to the contents of the course will accelerate the spread of CISO knowledge, soft skills, and its benefits for all interested parties wishing to take a deep dive in the world of cybersecurity.
