Last Chance to Vote for "Most Stressed-Out CISO"
This week's episode of CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast
Last Chance to Vote for "Most Stressed-Out CISO"
features me, David Spark, co-host Mike Johnson, and guest Keith McCartney, CISO, Zenefits. The three of us discussed:
CISOs can manage stress by understanding expectations.
While there's no way to future-proof a CISO's job as being stress free, a CISO can begin by understanding departmental needs by interviewing stakeholders. Ideally, this would be done during the interview process. If demands are beyond what a CISO thinks he or she can deliver, or verge on maxing out capabilities, consider that a red flag.

CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast
Surprise surprise, Google makes a GREAT OSINT tool.
Sometimes the most obvious solution actually is the best solution. Our CISOs say they lean on simple Google searches for initial open source intelligence searches.
Cloud security hires are still quite elusive.
One of the reasons that cloud security talent is so difficult to hire is because there are so many different cloud providers, it's a fairly new field, and the skills needed are ever changing. On top of that, demands are quite specific. Pile on top of that everyone is looking for the same talent, so a bidding war begins. it's quite a difficult problem finding great talent. If you want companies to be fighting over you, take advantage of all the free training on the various cloud providers offer.
Special thanks to this week's podcast sponsor, CyberArk.

, we believe that sharing insights and guidance across the CISO community will help strengthen security strategies and lead to better-protected organizations. CyberArk is committed to the continued exploration of topics that matter most to CISOs related to improving and integrating privileged access controls.
