It's hard to be a CISO. But, what's it like to be a CISO at a security vendor, doing the hard work while carrying the stigma of being a "vendor"?
Check out this post for the basis for our conversation on this week’s episode which features me, David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series, guest co-host Geoff Belknap (@geoffbelknap), CISO, LinkedIn, and our sponsored guest Allan Alford (@AllanAlfordinTX), CTO/CISO, TrustMAPP, and host of The Cyber Ranch Podcast.
Thanks to our podcast sponsor, TrustMAPP
Does your board want to see yet more heat maps? No, they do not. They want to see that security investments align with business goals, and that their costs are objectively justified. TrustMAPP’s data visualization helps you communicate with your board in a way they can understand – and approve.
