Influencing security decisions is one of the hardest parts of the practitioner role. Even strong evidence fails without the skills to turn insight into commitment.
Decision-makers are shaped by bias, pressure and competing priorities. Good escalations fall flat when emotion, misunderstanding or poor framing get in the way. Pushback stalls conversations and delays action when the ask isn't clear or credible.
When influence breaks down, exposure quietly grows. This course strengthens the confidence and communication needed to challenge bias, escalate risk effectively and secure faster decisions.
A one-day intensive that elevates your ability to quantify harm, build credible loss scenarios and translate security impact into action business leaders take seriously.
