Elevate Your Impact. Start Leading Decisions.
Struggling to unlock security budgets from the C-suite and business leaders? Tired of presenting threat data, security gaps and unmitigated risk, only to fall on deaf ears?
What holds most security leaders back —and we’ve had this conversation with hundreds of CISO/vCISO’s over the last few years—is the dreaded response they get from their C-Level peers: “You’ve given me/us a lot to think about.” Translation? “I didn’t understand a word you just said!”
We understand the struggle to properly fund security programs that grease the skids of revenue, support contractual obligations and build redundancy into mission critical business systems and processes.
CISO Built Training
Based on over three decades of research and experience, Brian Blakley, CISO at Bellini Capital understands first hand what security leaders, vCISOs and MSPs are faced with on a daily basis. From landing a company on the INC 500 list with 1,200% growth, to guiding enterprises through complex infosec and compliance journeys, Brian blends street-smart business acumen with elite certifications like CISSP, CISM, CISA, CRISC, CMMC-CCP, and Certified CISO. His approach centers on translating technical risk into language that boards, executives, and business owners understand, bridging the gap between cybersecurity strategy and revenue protection.
We’re genuinely excited to tell you about something we’ve been building with the University of South Florida —the Certified Cybersecurity Leadership Strategist (CCLS) program.
It’s a 3-day immersive workshop led by Brian Blakley, CISO at Bellini Capital, and it’s unlike anything we’ve seen in our space.
Not theory; Not a vendor training.
What’s in it for You?
Three days of:
- Translating technical risk into language that moves executives
- Building and defending security programs organizations will actually fund
- Incident leadership simulation under real pressure
- Executive briefing and board communication drills
- Budget justification frameworks that work in the real world
View the Agenda
Participants leave with a university-backed credential AND a vCISO Pathway Voucher —a structured bridge into the advanced vCISO Certificate Program. There will be a monthly peer meetup featuring expert speakers who will provide content to support ongoing learning and CPEs. This will keep you ahead of the competition and aware of significant trends.
This is the formalprofessional journey we’ve all been waiting for:
Security Practitioner → Security Leader → Executive Advisor
We built this program for CISO/vCISOs and MSPs who hold ultimate responsibility and accountability for organizational cybersecurity strategy.
If that’s you, or someone on your team — we’d love to get you in the room.
