They discuss the CISO’s role in managing risk AND reputation throughout the incident response process; and how empathy and the ability to build relationships come into play in the midst of a crisis.
How has the ability to build relationships, communicate outside your department, and do so with empathy changed the role of the CISO? Or rather, how do these skills bolster our capabilities when we’re managing a crisis?
Building a relationship with other teams in the organization
The sooner these relationships can be built, the better. Meeting top executives and other team leads during a crisis is less than ideal. Get to know the people that are closer to the consumer, the writers, the social media managers, the sooner this relationship is established the better the partnership is when you need to come together in a crisis. Building those relationships now build trust within the company as a whole.
