Introduction of a New Show
A new initiative titled 'Security You Should Know' is launched, focusing on providing clear and straightforward insights about cybersecurity solutions directly from vendors. This show aims to cut through the marketing noise and deliver practical information that CISOs and security professionals genuinely need. The format involves interviews with security vendors where two CISOs ask targeted questions about their products, facilitating a more personalized approach to solution discovery. This aims to emulate the idea of 'phoning a friend' for reliable guidance in the competitive cybersecurity landscape.
