CISOs are common among the Fortune 500. But it remains rare to see them listed in executive leadership. Given that every company says security is of prime importance, why aren’t CISOs named within the top company echelons?

This week’s episode is hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series, and Allan Cockriel, CISO of Shell. Joining us is our special guest, Mary Rose Martinez, CISO, Marathon Petroleum.
