Sometimes the best way to understand a topic is to talk about it while borrowing a different perspective, looking at it through a different set of lenses—either familiar ones or those that take us far outside of our comfort zone.The team at RSA Charge—notably, RSA Security's CMO, Holly Rollo—did just that by bringing to the stage Whitbread Round the World Race winner, Tracy Edwards, MBE.What does sailing have to do with risk management, you ask? The parallels are many. Don't take our word for it though, listen to our chat with Holly and Tracy as we take you around the world on a sailboat, telling stories of navigation, aggravation, competition, diversity, inclusion, and communication. Perhaps most importantly, this chat brings with it inspiration over tactics."We might die. Let's try not to."~Tracy Edwards, MBE on Risk ManagementThis is an excellent story to learn about risk management, but it is so much more than that. It is an inspirational story about opportunities over the status quo, perseverance over adversity, and diversity over egos.There's a ton to glean from this conversation. We hope you enjoy it!Guest(s)Holly Rollo, CMO (RSA Security)Tracy Edwards, MBE, British SailorCatch all of our RSA Charge Coverage on ITSPmagazine:  https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-charge-2019-orlando-rsa-securityTo see and hear more event coverage content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-event-coverage

RSA CHARGE 2019 Orlando | ITSPmagazine Podcast | Holly Rollo & Tracy Edwards

In today’s chat, we are joined by Holly Rollo, Chief Marketing Officer, SVP at RSA Security. Holly is also one of the keynote speakers at RSA Conference APJ — co-presenting with Rohit Ghai, President at RSA Security, she will be talking about: The New Why of Cybersecurity. Session Description: Digital investment accelerates business velocity, transforms constituent experiences and spawns new opportunities. But this formidable force for human progress also magnifies risk; it accelerates change and complexity, inviting new threats and devastating impacts. Security leaders are left reframing a new answer to an old question: Why? Managing digital risk is the new why for cybersecurity. These are some of the themes Holly and Rohit will likely discuss during their keynote —these also some of the things we touched on during our chat today as well: Risk and digital transformation The increased attack surface — this can’t be solved with tools alone Aligning the conversation with the right language Silos across the organization inhibits productive security management and incident response Lines of business owners are going rogue with shadow IT and this is exacerbating the 3rd party risk problem Of course, talent remains a huge topic and diversity, inclusion and equality matter around the world We are thrilled to have this chat with Holly to learn more about her keynote session, some of the InfoSec and privacy challenges that region and the rest of the world are facing, and her thoughts on the RSA Conference APJ in general. Enjoy! We'd like to thank our conference coverage sponsors for their support. Be sure to visit their directory pages on ITSPmagazine to learn more about them.

Chats On The Road To RSA Conference APJ | Singapore 2019 | A Conversation With Holly Rollo

Diva Tech Talk interviewed Holly Rollo, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of RSA (www.rsa.com ),a Dell Technologies (www.dell.com) company, offering business-driven security solutions for millions of users around the world and more than 90% of Fortune 500 companies.  Holly said: “you never know what’s in store,” since she did not originally set out to be a technology leader. The daughter of a Marine who was taught the value of determination and hard work at a young age, Holly’s journey began with a passion for investigative reporting. With an undergraduate journalism degree from Santa Clara University (https://www.scu.edu): “I had two job offers: one with a paper, and the other as PR person for a semiconductor company.” She chose the PR job and has no regrets. “What is amazing about marketing is that you’re constantly chasing a story. It’s a creative job. It’s a quantitative science job. It’s a technology job since marketing has gotten more technical.” As Holly got started, she “asked the dumb questions like ‘what does this mean for customers?’ and ‘how do they buy it’….” The answers she received helped her ”understand the whole picture” and weave the right stories to strengthen and promote brands, products and services. From National Semiconductor, (purchased by Texas Instruments (http://www.ti.com/)) Holly moved up through a variety of jobs, building a substantial career including stints at Young and Rubicam, IBM (www.ibm.com) Sanrise (www.sanrise.com) Symantec/Veritas (www.symantec.com), Sybase (www.sybase.com), SAP (www.sap.com), Cisco (www.cisco.com) , FireEye (www.fireeye.com) and Fortinet (www.fortinet.com). Her path was forged by “focusing on what I was good at; what I was interested in.“ Rather than working in status quo situations, Holly was motivated by attacking “big, hairy problems.” Some of those included repositioning companies or older brands to take advantage of new markets, effecting full company turnarounds, positioning organizations for hyper-growth, or rationalizing and organizing hodgepodge tech product portfolios.  “I like jumping into the middle of chaos and making order out of it!” According to Holly, life stages affect your career choices.  For instance, starting out, she said, “the brand that you work for, ‘speaks’…” and choosing it wisely can determine your career trajectory.   “After that, there are different things that are important,” she noted. One of her career changes was inspired by a desire to “work with a woman who could mentor me.” Then, “later, as I had children, flexibility was more important, Now, what I have learned is that I want to work with people who are amazing, people to have fun with, every day.”    In making mission choices, Holly thinks that what instinctively drives decisions can be different for women than men. “Sometimes, what’s important is the money. I think women are sometimes uncomfortable with that idea.”  Holly also stated “there are tradeoffs.” She cited the example of choosing a startup with exciting potential, great experience and an impressive title versus working for a larger, more established company at a higher compensation level. Holly also suggested, for personal peace of mind, “there has to be a conversation, at home, about tradeoffs.  You have to know what you can balance, at home, in that workload,” to make informed decisions. To achieve balance, in addition to yoga and hiking, Holly reminds herself “it’s one day at a time, one work week at a time.”   The tech industry is unpredictable so “this can also all change tomorrow. The best I can do is just focus on what’s right in front of me and take it in bite-sized chunks.”  Holly is grateful to be in the security field. “There’s a bigger mission. Particularly in the current environment, you can really understand how what goes on in the digital world impacts us all. It’s about how you detect and respond, managing risk to your mission.”   Holly noted that there is “a massive issue in technology employment,” and “everyone is going to be needed. We need all kinds of talent.  We need more women in engineering; we need more women in leadership; we need more women in storytelling positions.” With the advent of the “Me, Too” movement and other progressive societal influences, she thinks that “a lot of behavioral changes are going to happen” to assist in breaking down diversity barriers. “We have the power to vote with our feet, and choose not to work for a certain company, or a certain manager, leader or CEO.”  The biggest issue in Holly’s mind that needs to be addressed is “the pay equity piece.” She noted that each individual manager can change that. “Every year, we go through reviews. We have the power to address the pay gap” then. Her perspective is that pay equity is solvable, “if we chip away at it, little by little. Everybody can play a role.” For the full blog write up, make sure to check us out on online at www.divatechtalk.com, on Twitter @divatechtalks, and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/divatechtalk.
