With absolutely no irony three white men discuss the value of diversity in cybersecurity in the latest episode of CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast.

Security Made the Mess. They Should Clean It Up.

CISO Series Podcast ·

2018/08/27

Security is suffering from a serious Rodney Dangerfield "I get no respect" problem. What has often been seen as the department of "no" is struggling under that brand image. That's probably because security is often seen as an inhibitor rather than an enabler. If InfoSec wants to fix that perception, it'll be their responsibility to dig themselves out. Here's what you'll hear on the latest episode of the CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast: Nobody thinks security is their friend: How can

2018/08/23

This is an extra segment we recorded with Dan Glass, former CISO, American Airlines for our last episode.

As always, the show includes myself, David Spark, founder, Spark Media Solutions and Mike Johnson, CISO, Lyft. Enjoy.

Job Opportunity: Unqualified AND Underpaid

CISO Series Podcast ·

2018/08/21

We spend a good portion of this episode of the CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast mocking unrealistic job listings that ask for too many unnecessary credentials and on top of it aren't willing to pay a fair market rate. Did companies forget that it's a buyers' market right now in security? On this episode of the podcast we discuss: The security semantics of "responsibility" vs. "accountability": Which one drives which behavior? And it is possible to try to compel one to the detriment of the

Use Your CRM. CISOs Are Tired of Repeating Themselves.

Just because you have a new salesperson, doesn't mean you have to restart the sales process. If you've been properly entering information into your CRM, you shouldn't have to.

Just like so many security products are infused with artificial intelligence, we've also got plenty of meaningless modifiers to describe this podcast.

We delve into the overexposure of AI (artificial intelligence) and machine learning. Are they the same thing? And what do CISOs actually want to hear more about on both of these

How to Choose a Bad Security Product

CISO Series Podcast ·

2018/07/24

If I knew more about your current security needs, I'd probably be able to tell you what security product to buy. But that would require me to spend time understanding your needs and this podcast is only 30 minutes long. Instead, we decided to uncover the universal truths of what security product you shouldn't buy. In this episode of the CISO/Security Vendor Relationship podcast, we uncover failed CISO product purchases plus: Do temporary dips in hacker attacks change your security posture? What

We're fed up with vendors who think they can detect any breach, but we're not fed up with breach detection. On this week's episode: Are millennials excited or not excited about working in security?

CISO Series Podcast ·

2018/07/03

Want to get under a CISO's skin? Ask them if they have a concern for security in their environment. It's like asking a chef if they're concerned about preparing food.

Don’t bother trying to craft a potentially clever, funny and adorable email that you hope will tickle a security practitioner; it’s simply not going to work. When it comes to security pitches, practitioners just want the facts. While humor is appreciated, a cold email pitch is not the time to showcase your creative writing skills.
