This episode of the Cyber Ranch Podcast was recorded LIVE on stage at the CISO 360 Conference in New York City, hosted by Pulse Conferences. Nick Vigier, a seasoned CISO and former CIO, joins Allan in addressing the elephant in the room: Why don’t CISOs and CIOs don’t get along?

Nick draws on his experience in both positions to share his unique perspective on the CISO and CIO relationship. In this episode, Allan and Nick highlight the operating differences between the two positions and explore the opposing interests that exist around topics such as budgets and reporting structure. Lastly, Nick shares why engaging in empathetic conversations around metrics, business impact, and risk management is the ultimate key to a more harmonious relationship.
