Liz Banbury, CISO

An important aspect of CISO Liz Banbury's role as a security leader involves negotiation. She says that there are "various nuances and limitations depending on what you're trying to protect," and it takes time to work things through in order to be successful.

Another important part of the role involves understanding the business context, she says. "You've got to be able to listen. … You've got to be able to put in the time to understand the business context, the operational difficulties that parts of the business have, and operational capacity as well."

In a video interview with Information Security Media Group as part of the CyberEdBoard's ongoing Profiles in Leadership series, Banbury discusses:

  • Her career path and priorities;
  • Why the art of negotiation is key to a security leader's success;
  • Her mission to drive innovation, inclusion and diversity within the cybersecurity community.
