In this week's episode, we speak with industry veteran and self-described recovering CISO Thom Langford.
We discuss how Thom got into cybersecurity and became a CISO. Whether a CISO needs to be technical or not, and what differentiates a conventional CISO from a virtual CISO.
Thom also explained the benefits of storytelling, the use of videos humor, and how to influence security culture.
We also hear about Thom's biggest security mistake.
