Overview

Off the shelf (OTS)

Many cybersecurity professionals are highly technical but often unfamiliar with project management terminology, methodologies, resource management and leading teams. Overseeing diverse groups of stakeholders and team members, estimating resources accurately, as well as analysing risk as applied to different organisational structures and relationships is a struggle for many new technical project leaders.

Today's virtual work environment only increases these complexities. It is critically important to understand how to use a wide range of development approaches and project management framework components to maximise resources across various business units for project success. Confidently lead security initiatives that deliver on time, within budget, reduce organisational risk and complexity while driving bottom line value.
