Tom Field / Stuart Reed

Senior Vice President - Editorial, ISMG / VP, Product & Marketing, Nominet

Stress. At a time when threats are heightened, defenses are struggling to keep up, and boards are demanding more answers than ever, CISOs globally are reporting higher levels of stress. This stress manifests as burnout in the workplace, as well as at home, where mental health and family relationships are impacted. In many cases, boards are aware of these pressures, but still continue to demand more from the CISO.

What can be done to recognize and ease the sources of stress? How can CISOs achieve a better work-life balance? Can smart technology choices alleviate stress?

Please join ISMG’s Tom Field for an exclusive executive roundtable that will draw from the experiences of the attendees, offering thoughts on how they have been able to manage stress and achieve better work-life balance at their organizations.

Discussion topics will include:

How have CISO stress levels changed in the past year?
What is the impact on career burnout, mental health and family relationships?
What are the drivers of CISO stress and what role does the board play in alleviating the sources of tension?

Joining Tom to provide expert insight and case studies is Stuart Reed, VP of Product & Marketing at Nominet.
