Navigating Security Challenges for Startups in a Cloud World

Guests: 

• Beth Cartier, former CISO, vCISO, founder of Initiative Security

Guest host of the CISO mini-series:

• Marina Kaganovich, Executive Trust Lead, Office of the CISO @ Google Cloud

Topics:

• How is that vCISO’ing going? What is special about vCISO and cloud? Is it easier or harder?
• AI, cyber, resilience - all are hot topics these days.  In the context of cloud security, how are you seeing organizations realistically address these trends? Are they being managed effectively (finally?) or is security always playing catch up?
• Recent events reminded us that cybersecurity may sometimes interfere with resilience. How have you looked to build resilience into your security program?
• The topic is perhaps 30+ years old, but security needs to have a seat at the table, and often still doesn’t - why do you think this is the case? 
• What approaches or tips have you found to work well in elevating security within organizations?
• Any tips for how cyber professionals can stay up to date to keep up with the current threat landscape vs the threats that are around the corner?
