Deloitte CISO Community
A space for security leaders to challenge themselves and explore their potential
About
The roles of the CISO and other infosec leaders are becoming more and more critical than ever, and effective leaders are in high demand. With this background in mind, Deloitte Japan has created a community that is focused on enhancing local cyber leaders’ capabilities and confidence by providing opportunities for professional networking and peer-to-peer information exchange. It has been designed to promote discussions with peers internationally and across industries that provoke ideas and challenge your assumptions.
Our CISO program aims to put the life of a cybersecurity leader into perspective, enabling you to lead by example, pursue growth and combat the challenges many cybersecurity leaders face in their world. The program is international, widening your peer network while maintaining a local personalization to suit your needs. Five key components, which we believe to be the enablers of success in the Cyber world and beyond, is at the heart of our CISO Community.
Why join our CISO program?
You have the technical skills, but how do you apply these skills to the everyday situations generated by cyber risk? The CISO program complements the CISO lifecycle with tools, experiences, international networks and learning opportunities to deal with the daily pressures posed by the role.
Grow
Growth is about developing your skills and capabilities alongside the evolving requirements of the CISO role. Some of this is tactical; from running large projects to sharpening your edge on non-technical skills. But there are also strategic components; with succession planning, prioritisation and decision-making, and career choices made with a view to your legacy.
Our programme challenges your perspective on growth within the world of cyber.
Balance
Stress and strain within the world of a CISO is common, and balancing the shifting demands of cyber security can be challenging. You need a high level of resilience to manage the pressures of expectation, stress and risk that come with executive decisions.
Attention on personal balance is incredibly important, within the programme we focus on personal learning as well as work life balance, especially in the more remote world.
Lead
Your role as the CISO relies on leadership and guidance in cyber security – a topic of high importance to both business and stakeholders. This level of leadership goes beyond simply managing others. You need to set the example.
Do you feel like you possess those qualities within yourself? Through the CISO programme you will focus on your personal development and the attributes of a cyber security leader.
Build
As a CISO, you may often feel like you’re acting alone. You’re expected to face the pressure of cyber-attacks and changing risks, whilst still maintaining day-to-day technical credibility.
Through various activities, this component builds on your technical skills including running successful programmes, and keeping a close eye on changing regulatory and cyber threat.
Influence
An integral part of your day-to-day life involves making an impact on your Board to gain their trust in the selected security function. The uncertainty of cyber risk often leads to uncertainty in this trust. With expert knowledge at the forefront, influence is often the decider.
Can you successfully influence decision making? Communication, demonstrating positive behaviours and setting high standards for performance are all key.

Global Future of Cyber Survey
Looking ahead to 2023 and beyond, cyber is evolving into a distinct functional area of the business, transcending its traditional IT roots and becoming an essential part of the framework for delivering business outcomes. For many organizations, cyber now weaves more tightly into business operations, outcomes, and opportunities. Despite cyber’s potential as a business enabler, the ability to leverage it effectively can be inconsistent across organizations.
