# Technical or Operational? The Future CISO - and How You Can Prepare

Top security experts warn that a technical mindset alone won't help you respond better to critical security threats or comply with frameworks, like SOC 2, NIST 800-171, and HITRUST.  

How can you balance the comforts of technology - without compromising security and compliance?

Join us for a live discussion where Cybersecurity Leader**, [Ron Sharon](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ron-sharon/),** and Ostendio CEO, [**Grant Elliott**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/grantelliott/), weigh the pros and cons of the technical and operational approaches to cybersecurity – and why it’s important to strike a balance between technology and engaging your people to operationalize your security.

#### **You'll discover:**

- How to ensure “technology” doesn’t overshadow “people and process”
- Should you be a technical CISO or an operational CISO?
- How to balance the technical and operational CISO roles
- The pitfalls of relying solely on automation, and the benefits of incorporating action-oriented integrations
