Central Plains Chapter Meeting:

"Selling Security to Management: The 3 F's", John Bloomer, CheckPoint

 

For the past 16 years John Bloomer has helped to design and implement cutting edge solutions for sharing information quickly and securely. From special projects for the United States Navy to the PCS network for Sprint, John has been a part of some of the most exciting advances in sharing data and has done so with a focus on securing that information. Having served in roles ranging from operations to CISO, John brings a perspective of not only technical acumen but also the concerns of management and the business to the table. Mr. Bloomer serves as a thought leader within the local security community and is a regular speaker at seminars, tradeshows and meetings around the mid-west.


John will be presenting on Selling Security to Management

    Of all the tasks that a security practitioner is faced with convincing management what is needed can be one of the most challenging. In this talk we will go over three approaches to building the case for security initiative and demystify the minds of the executives.

     

 

The Information Systems Security Association (ISSA)® is a not-for-profit international organization of information security professionals and practitioners.  It provides education forums, publications and peer interaction opportunities that enhance the knowledge, skill and professional growth of its members. We hope the ISSA will provide a chance to interface with other IT professionals and further your awareness of security practices and technologies.

 

This meeting is open to the general public with no expectations of membership.
