Let's Ask CISOs If They're Concerned About Data Security
This week's episode of CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast
Let's Ask CISOs If They're Concerned About Data Security
is hosted by me, David Spark, producer of CISO Series and Mike Johnson. Our sponsored guest is Steve Zalewski, deputy CISO, Levi Strauss & Co. The three of us discussed:
Avoid cybersplaining
. As a play on the term of mansplaining, cybersplaining is when a security salesperson tries to explain basic InfoSec to a cybersecurity expert. Far too many sales pitches begin with a question that really defines the CISO's job: "Are you concerned with hackers accessing your networks?"
Businesses are conflicted with data privacy.
Years ago the public wasn't so concerned about data privacy. Now, it's of utmost concern. Even so, businesses have been thriving on analyzing and collecting our data. Often they collect data just because they know they can. Given current public pressure and regulations companies have to rethink that decision.
Third party risk is an ongoing risk.
So much of business relies on working with third parties. How you initially trust them is one big issue, but the much bigger issue is how do you verify company security policies. It creates a big brand management risk.
Service level agreements (SLAs) on data confidence vs. uptime?
Most SLAs are focused on uptime and speed of delivering tech support. But what do SLAs offer when it comes to the measurements of data confidence? Servers that are up yet have bad or misappropriated data all of a sudden becomes a core security issue.

What Makes Cybertech in Tel Aviv So Unique
Youth and energy is what makes Cybertech so different than major trade shows like Black Hat and RSA, said Roger Hale, former CISO in residence, YL Ventures, in our conversation at Cybertech 2020 in Tel Aviv.
The two of us chatted about how this conference is so unique and different than other security shows.
