“I have to do it with the resources I have – the business has multiple priorities so I cannot keep asking for more security staff.”
“ If my company fails in an area which I am responsible for, I have to take responsibility.”
“Part of the anxiety is that I’m not really sure whether what we are doing is enough.”
A development program and community where you’ll learn from the world’s best security thought leaders and join a small, high-trust tribe of professionals in a similar role.
Especially for cyber security leaders in fast-growth startups. Share tips, tricks and woes as you address the growing pains of rapidly growing organisations.
Wrangle the GRC requirements of both new and established organisations. Share which tools and tactics work for you, and learn from others.
Share strategies that give you the ultimate security hardness for resource spend. Learn how to bridge the gap between security and engineering.
Book 30 minutes with Irfan. He’ll walk you through the program and all the benefits of becoming a member.
Discuss your wins and challenges, and share insights to learn from one another. Each small tribe (of 6-8) is curated to bring together leaders who have responsibilities in common, so you’re solving similar problems.
Expert speakers provide both inspiration and practical insights from their extensive experience. Past speakers have included Jason Chan (Ex VP Security, Netflix), Geoff Belknap (CISO, LinkedIn) and Marc Bown (CISO, Immutable).
Member-led focused mini sessions create an opportunity for you to share your deep knowledge on a topic and learn from others. In a confidential session, the group can discuss their experiences and share resources.
Chat with peers via a real-time, encrypted communications platform. Reach out for recommendations in a high-trust environment and receive relevant feedback and insights from leaders who have solved similar problems or tested similar solutions.
"I completed some core work which I presented internally, but at the CyRise Elevate dinner I got an entirely new perspective on how it could have been done differently. I am going back to work tomorrow to completely redo it. Just that one chat was worth its weight in gold”.
Natalie, Information Security Manager, Marketplacer
Truth
We seek truth even when it is uncomfortable to do so. Where trade offs are required between values, we fall back to truth seeking.
Give
We give before we get. We give of our expertise, our skills and our time without any expectation of anything in return.
Ambition
We aim for world class and when we reach the top of our game, we slowly go further. Tenacious and optimistic, we commit to world-class standards and strive with confidence and humility.
Courage
We don’t embrace failure – nobody likes to fail. But we embrace experimentation, an open analysis of what went wrong, and sharing those lessons freely and without fear.
Transparency
We are open about what we are good at and what we are not. By being radically transparent with each other and delivering our stories with kindness and warmth, we all get better, faster.
