Join the conversation : Is it time for a safer and socially-responsible Cyber sector?

cyber special Jun 19, 2020

1600 Cyber is on a mission to *Inspire *Protect *Champion, and they do things with a twist: from creating "new heroes" to kill current stereotypes to creating a Hip Hop Music label (1600 Music) to raise awareness, fight injustice and build a better society.

Join Frank Satterwhite Founder & CEO 1600 Cyber and I, on Thursday 25 June @ 2 pm GMT where we will be debating whether it's time to start building a safer and more socially responsible Cyber sector. Frank & I are equally passionate about the integral role that people, culture and technology play in keeping society safe in our digital world. We are also equally concerned about the mental and physical health of Cyber professionals.

Frank represents a very unique combination of cyber technical excellence, a grassroots-driven perspective, and an incredible passion to use technology to help and support communities worldwide. Frank is most proud of his advocacy for diversity in S.T.E.M., particularly for women in disadvantaged groups. He is originally from California, and he is former NATO and US Military, so he has lots of experience working in extremely challenging environments.

Cyber is such an environment and it pains me to see so many Cyber professionals buckling under this pressure. A Nominet CISO Stress Report shows that 88% of CISOs are moderately or tremendously stressed, with a detrimental impact on their mental and physical health, as well as personal relationships. However, a staggering 97% of boards say they want CISOs to deliver even more value. 

"Until this stress is relieved, the CISO’s ability to deliver value to the business will be diminished as their ability to do their job is hampered and they quickly become burnt out." Stuart Reed, VP of Cyber at Nominet
