From Zero Trust to Trusted Advisor: Selling Security to Stakeholders
Glen Sorensen, Daniela Parker

You’ve identified the vulnerability, tested the exploit, and written the report. But they just don’t see the urgency. Now what? This 4-hour, hands-on workshop bridges the gap between technical mastery and executive and influence. We’ll move beyond simply reporting risks to crafting compelling narratives, quantifying value, and building the relationships necessary to drive meaningful security improvements.

We’ll delve into the psychology of decision-making, explore adversarial communication tactics (including those used against YOU), and arm you with practical strategies to become a trusted advisor who can effectively advocate for security and get things done.
