this is a rule that you're gonna get after a few years experience, not as somebody entry level, Just trying to get your start in this particular industry.

01:10

So with cyber security managers, basically these air individuals that are responsible for managing

01:15

the team that actually monitors like operations, infrastructure of the organization, they're also gonna in some instances, monitor management policy compliance, whether it's internal or external policies, they might also

01:30

manage regulation compliance. So ah, lot of different things might make up what you are going to do as a cyber security management. Generally speaking, you're gonna have a team under you, and you're gonna be in some capacity

01:42

working around risk management or compliance. And there might be some other things tacked on there as well.

01:49

And typically you're also gonna have a MAWR risk focused approach. And again, that depends on if you're gonna be like a sock manager,

01:57

security, security, operation center, manager or cyber security manager

02:01

or privacy manager, or any number of those. But generally speaking, in most organizations, you're gonna take more of a risk centered approach.

02:10

So where does some of the common responsibilities of a cybersecurity manager well,

02:15

individuals that are gonna oversee assessments and audits whether their internal or external assessments

02:23

they're gonna

02:23

be overseeing the entire process on that

02:28

being coming, that ambassador for the security team. So being that Ambassador for Security teams with other business units. So making sure that finances on board with what you're doing or the executive team is on board with what you're doing. So really just being that visible component to make sure that the security team has everything that they need,

02:46

and we focus on securing the organization as best as we can.

02:51

Possibly, as I mentioned, focused on compliance. So monitoring for regulatory compliance, policy compliance,

02:59

developing a reviewing and even modifying information security policies, privacy policies, modifying the processes that we're doing like, Are we doing the most efficient processing? Possibly also creating or maintaining the company's business continuity, planning and disaster recovery planning as well.

03:17

So what are some comments Skills that you need to be successful in this type of role? Well, negotiation skills, because you're gonna be negotiating budget, you're gonna be negotiating with your team. You're gonna be negotiating with other business units, so you really need to have some solid negotiation skills, time management skills. This is not a job where you can just work like a

03:36

8 to 5 or 9 to 5 and kick up your feet. At the end of the day, you're gonna be very busy. You're gonna working a lot a lot of long hours. Sometimes you might work rotating shifts as if you're working like in a sock center, for example. So it's gonna take some really good time management skills to manage all those things you have to do

03:53

from a technical standpoint. And again, you don't have to be. You don't have to have a technical background necessarily to be a cybersecurity manager or sock

04:01

manager. But it's a really, really good idea, right, because you want to be that leader on your team, and it's a really good idea to get that tow. Have the skill set going in now if you don't have the skill set going in like I said it. In some organizations, it's not necessarily a barrier to entry, but keep in mind that you want to get up

04:19

your technical skills at some point.

04:21

So having that background like incident response, working in a sock center experience of forensic packet capture analysis

04:30

under just understanding like when an attack occurs. What do we do? Having a background in compliance and that sort of thing, like understanding from a technical aspect? How could we actually implement these things? Right? So, for example, there's a lot of, like privacy experts out there that don't understand how to implement from a technical standpoint. So if we think of it in that context

04:48

as a cyber security manager, we wanna know. How could we actually take thes regulations and industry standards and actually go implement them? Not just a bunch of theory, but actually go implement them. So we need to have a good understanding of industry regulation, industry standards and regulatory standards. So things like this G d. P r

PC idea cess

05:12

eso hip sock, too. So just depending on your particular organizations, vertical. That's what we want to make sure we focus on

05:20

experience in auditing or the ability to actually perform security compliance audits. So just having that background in auditing or being able to do that is definitely a skill set you wanna have.

05:33

And then, as I mentioned before, one of the common things is developing those security policies right and in different processes. So you really need to have an ability to develop, review, modify those different information security policies and privacy policies and all the processes around those.

05:49
