Real-world cybersecurity: HP & Siemens CISOs on WFH, hacking, and sleeping at night

How do CISOs sleep at night? By failing fast, apparently.

In this episode of TechFirst we chat with HP chief information security officer Joanna Burkey and Siemens USA CISO Kurt John on hacking, cracking, and yes ... even sleeping at night.

You are going to get hacked, says John. And yet, he can sleep at night because the point of his cybersecurity is to fail fast but fail noisily and recover quickly. 

45% of workers are buying their own computers

68% say security wasn't a factor

74% of IT teams are seeing jumps in phishing

49% of us click on suspicious emails

70% of those don't report it to IT

It's tough out there. These two CISOs share their strategies for living and working in an era of increased hacking and security breaches.
