Registration required: November 10, 2022, 7:00pm – 9:00pm Pacific Time
7:00 – 7:45 PM Session One: Putting People Back in the Center of Cybersecurity – Brian Barnier, and Prachee Kale, Think.Design.Cyber and CyberTheory Institute
People face dangers. Cyber pros are suffering from stress, burnout & “hamster wheel” syndrome.
There’s a better way. Cyber pros can achieve better work-life balance, more rewarding careers & missions – by making cyber as reliable as electricity.
How? Like other business functions do – with curiosity, critical thinking, system thinking & industrial-strength design thinking. The same way innovation creates products that daily delight us. The way music brings us joy. The way military battles are won.
It takes learning to think counter-intuitively & change.
Innovators have education, method & coaching at the individual, team & organizational levels.
Compared to other business functions, cyber pros are setup to fail. Their support system is missing!
The good news is, it’s readily fixable! That starts with putting people back in the center of cyber – empowering cyber pros, accelerating authentic Zero Trust & making cyber as reliable as electricity.
Join us to map-out your action plan.

He is the author of The Operational Risk Handbook (Harriman House, Great Britain, 2011) used as a textbook by the London Institute of Banking & Finance.

He is one of the first three “Fellows” of OCEG — the Open Compliance & Ethics Group – the organization that created “Governance, Risk and Compliance.” Connect with Brian on LinkedIn.
Prachee’s current work is focused on 1) coaching introverted cyber professionals (who account for 60%+ of cyber workforce) to build their brand and become strong leaders without changing their personalities and, 2) bringing critical, systems and design thinking to cybersecurity organizations so they can accelerate Zero Trust implementation, drive demonstrable business outcomes and cost savings, improve culture and reduce burnout.
Her article “Cybersecurity: The End Game Part 1” in the Taylor and Francis EDPACs journal was honored as “2020 Article of the Year.”
In cybersecurity, she has managed strategic investments of over $150 million, reduced spend by 20+%, eliminated antagonistic culture and demonstrated 90% retention rate for more than 3 years Prachee’s business strategy experience comes from working on business and ops/tech transformations, enterprise risk and regulatory mandates, in management consulting and the World Bank.
As a leader in the DEI dept., she is accelerating diversity and ESG initiatives. Prachee is the Executive Sponsor for the Women Leaders program focused on increasing representation of women of all backgrounds.
She earned an M.S. in Bioinformatics from George Washington University, which is about building tech for biological research.
