Motivation for Getting NACD Certification

The podcast episode features a conversation with Pat Benoit, the CISO at Brinks, who recently obtained his NACD directorship certification. Pat explains that his motivation for pursuing the certification stems from the desire to explore opportunities beyond the role of CISO. He highlights that serving on a board of directors provides a unique avenue for leveraging his cybersecurity expertise in the realms of governance, risk assessment, oversight, and audit.
