Jill Fraser and Deborah Blyth on Securing Colorado

Nils Puhlmann

Thank you for joining us at the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and society. In this episode, Sean and Marco are coming to you from the RSA Conference in San Francisco and are joined by Laz, Deborah Blyth, and Nils Puhlmann.CISOs are people too—and they dream just like the rest of us.The question is: What do they dream about?CISOs, arguably, have one of the toughest jobs in the InfoSec industry. Oftentimes, you’ll hear people ask them “what keeps you up at night?” suggesting that they only have nightmares. However, as note above, CISOs are people too—and they dream just like the rest of us.So, to mix things up a bit—changing the narrative from negative to positive—we discuss what the CISO dreams about for the executive-level role, both in the near-term and the long-haul.This is a conversation I’ve been dreaming about having for quite a while and my dream finally came true as Laz, Deborah Blyth, and Nils Puhlmann—current and former CISOs—joined us during RSA Conference 2020 to look at their role, their teams, their processes, their technologies, the culture, and so much more.These are a few of the highlights from the conversation:How employees and citizens play a role in the CISO roleReducing complexity in technology, both operationally and conversationallyThe value of culture across the organization at all levels; what does it take to get there?Changing the way we measure success for the role (and who is responsible for evaluation)Funding... what's the reality here?Ultimately, the CISO community needs to continue to work together, but also needs to find ways to strengthen their relationship with others at the board level, executive level, and operational level. Additionally, it's clear that the overall view and function of the role also needs to continue to mature if we are going to attract new talent to take on this critical position.Guest(s)Laz | Deborah Blyth | Nils PuhlmannThis Episode’s Sponsors:ReversingLabs: itspm.ag/itsprvslwebDevo: https://itspm.ag/itspdvwebBlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebWeSecureApp: https://itspm.ag/wsapitspdirSecureStack: https://itspm.ag/scstitspdirTo see and hear more event coverage content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-event-coverageFor more stories from RSA Conference 2020, be sure to visit https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-conference-usa-2020-rsac-san-francisco-coverageTo see and hear more The Business of Security content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/the-business-of-securityAre you interested in sponsoring our event coverage or another ITSPmagazine Channel?https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships
