The Cybersecurity Project Manager’s Toolkit
Cybersecurity projects are unlike any other—high-stakes, compliance-driven, and rapidly evolving. Traditional project management approaches often fall short in this environment, leaving gaps in risk mitigation, governance, and stakeholder alignment. This session introduces The Cybersecurity Project Manager’s Toolkit: a practical framework of methodologies, planning tools, and governance strategies tailored for security initiatives. Attendees will explore how to select the right delivery approach (Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid), apply risk modeling to anticipate risks, and implement governance practices that support audit readiness. The presentation will walk through each phase of the project lifecycle. Following this discussion, participants will analyze obstacles using root cause analysis and lessons learned methods to improve efficiency in future projects. Through a real-world SIEM implementation case study, we will highlight the value of integrating structure, adaptability, and foresight. Participants will leave with a working knowledge of project management methodologies and strategies to better navigate the complexity of cybersecurity projects, communicate risks effectively, and deliver secure, compliant outcomes.Refreshments Sponsored by Seiso
