Title of Event: Responsibility, Accountability, and Authority: Leadership Essentials

Event Summary:

Join Us at Charley’s for a powerful and practical discussion with G Mark Hardy on Responsibility, Accountability, and Authority (RAA): Leadership Essentials – core concepts every cybersecurity leader must master.

G Mark will draw on over 30 years of military and cybersecurity experience to explore how aligning RAA helps leaders avoid being placed in scapegoat roles, a common risk in today’s high-stakes security environment. This session will also examine the relationship between RAA and various forms of power, including positional, coercive, expert, informational, reward, referent, and connection.

Expect real-world insights, challenging scenarios, and actionable advice on how to drive culture change within organizations to ensure leaders are equipped with the authority and resources they need to succeed.

The event will also feature an exploration of Human Risk Management with KnowBe4, followed by a presentation from SentinelOne on advanced cybersecurity strategies.
