Together they walk through Faizal’s journey into cyber and his vast experience planning and executing cyber security strategy. In the discussion this week: - The risks and implications of box ticking exercises for CISOs and the organisation - How well do executives understand the effectiveness of their cyber tools – are they implementing them effectively? - How to get out of the “should be alright” attitude and invest in adopting a proactive, as opposed to reactive, approach - Getting an in-depth understanding of the business, its people and adopting an appropriate level of cyber investment for the organisation - How the next-gen workforce will want to operate and how companies and cyber security will have to adapt to the employee of the future ## Related Posts [![](https://www.coriniumintelligence.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/1-1-Nov-24-2022-03-48-28-2978-PM.png?width=352&name=1-1-Nov-24-2022-03-48-28-2978-PM.png) ](https://www.coriniumintelligence.com/content/articles/interview-with-steve-jump-head-of-corporate-information-security-governance-telkom) ### [Interview with Steve Jump, Head of Corporate Information Security Governance, Telkom](https://www.coriniumintelligence.com/content/articles/interview-with-steve-jump-head-of-corporate-information-security-governance-telkom) Written by Corinium on Nov 19, 2019 How are you strategically allocating your budget/resources to...
