🛡️ The most effective CISOs lead beyond cybersecurity. They shape strategy, influence decisions, and drive business outcomes. That conviction sits at the heart of the 𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲.

Initiated by Cyber Security Agency of Singapore under the SG Cyber Leaders programme, the 13-day programme will be delivered by SMU Executive Development in partnership with ISTARI to shape leaders that drive organisational cybersecurity resilience.

From 8 to 12 June, 32 cybersecurity leaders from the government and critical infrastructure sectors gathered for Module 1: Strategic Cyber Leadership Under Persistent Threat.

Across five intensive days, participants explored:

🧭Systems Leadership – understanding leadership mindsets, resilience, and navigating complexity.

⚖️Governance & Strategic Tensions – examining accountability, board-level decision-making, and managing competing priorities in a persistent-threat environment.

🎯Power, Influence & Executive Communication – building executive presence, strengthening stakeholder influence, and communicating effectively under pressure.

🤝Team Performance & National Leadership – uncovering team dynamics, psychological safety, and engaging with national-level cyber leadership perspectives through a fireside chat with Kai Fong Chng, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Digital Development and Information.

🌱 Talent Development & Action Learning – developing people, not just systems, and launching action-learning projects focused on real cross-ecosystem challenges.

🌍 Next stop: Cambridge and London. In July, our participants will engage with world-class faculty, global CISOs, and leading thinkers as they explore the future of cyber resilience, leadership and building cyber resilience that lasts.
