The Interconnectedness of Cybersecurity Leadership, Change Management, and Business Process Improvement

Cap Tech Talks Webinar Series

Join us on Thursday, Mar. 20, 2025, Noon-1 p.m. Eastern

The growing complexity of the global cybersecurity landscape underscores the critical need for seamless integration of cybersecurity leadership, change management, and business process improvement. Studies reveal that 85% of successful cyberattacks exploit human vulnerabilities, while 70% of organizations fail to adapt swiftly to evolving threats due to ineffective change management. This presentation delves into the interconnectedness of these three pillars, exploring how proactive leadership can drive a culture of resilience, adaptability, and continuous improvement.

In this webinar, we will examine the impact of national and international cybersecurity laws on organizational strategies. We will look at the role of regulatory compliance in shaping business processes and fostering trust among stakeholders.

Participants will gain actionable insights into aligning cybersecurity priorities with organizational objectives, implementing adaptive change management frameworks, and leveraging process improvements to reduce risks. Through real-world case studies, attendees will explore how leading organizations balance these elements to ensure operational excellence.

The 60-minute webinar concludes with a moderated live question-and-answer period.

Capitol Technology University offers the webinar as a complimentary informational service. This webinar offers a Certificate of Attendance.
