Berlin Cybersecurity Social #21 2025-11-20 · 16:00 Are you a cybersecurity professional looking to connect with like-minded professionals, share experiences, and make friends? Look no further! Agenda 5 PM - 6 PM: Welcome & Ice Breakers 6 PM - 6.30 PM: The CISO Shift: From Security Execution to Strategic Influence 6.30 PM - 8 PM: Networking Topic: The CISO Shift: From Security Execution to Strategic There is a point in every security career where the work stops being about vulnerability backlogs and tool configuration, and becomes about shaping how an organization understands and manages risk. This talk breaks down that shift: identifying Crown Jewels and irreversible failure modes, defining the security functions that must never degrade, and building secure-by-default paved roads that engineering teams actually use. We’ll cover how to communicate in attacker intent instead of CVE counts, show real risk reduction through a few high-signal KPIs, and earn the trust required to influence architecture, roadmap, and culture. About the speaker: Sheetal Joseph is a cybersecurity executive with over 20 years of experience leading security strategy and transformation across financial services, digital assets, and other high-impact sectors. She has served as CISO and senior security leader in high-growth, regulated environments, guiding organizations through European regulatory scrutiny while scaling modern, cloud-native security programs. She speaks on security leadership, influence, and the practical realities of driving meaningful change in complex organizations. *Please note: We will be sharing the venue with other tech communities bringing more opportunity for collaboration, but will also be able to have a space for our community too as well as the common networking areas.

Agenda 5 PM - 6 PM: Welcome & Ice Breakers 6 PM - 6.30 PM: The CISO Shift: From Security Execution to Strategic Influence 6.30 PM - 8 PM: Networking

Topic: The CISO Shift: From Security Execution to Strategic

There is a point in every security career where the work stops being about vulnerability backlogs and tool configuration, and becomes about shaping how an organization understands and manages risk. This talk breaks down that shift: identifying Crown Jewels and irreversible failure modes, defining the security functions that must never degrade, and building secure-by-default paved roads that engineering teams actually use. We’ll cover how to communicate in attacker intent instead of CVE counts, show real risk reduction through a few high-signal KPIs, and earn the trust required to influence architecture, roadmap, and culture.

About the speaker:

Sheetal Joseph is a cybersecurity executive with over 20 years of experience leading security strategy and transformation across financial services, digital assets, and other high-impact sectors. She has served as CISO and senior security leader in high-growth, regulated environments, guiding organizations through European regulatory scrutiny while scaling modern, cloud-native security programs. She speaks on security leadership, influence, and the practical realities of driving meaningful change in complex organizations.
