Best advice for a CISO

"Have script writers on your staff. Whether it’s PowerShell, or Bash, or Python, or Perl. Script writers are really handy to have around, and they’re good utility infielders to get things done." Rick Doten, CISO, Carolina Complete Health

Overheard on Defense in Depth 

"Incidents are like onions. There’s the outer core of people are barely touching it, and there’s the inner core. Wherever you are standing inside that onion, you want people to be confident. And confident that they can handle it, not necessarily that they know exactly what’s going on but that they understand how to manage through it. Because all crisis management is is management at the end of the day." Roland Cloutier, CISO of TikTok
