This week's episode of CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast
Ah, Here's The Problem. You've Got a Leaky CEO.
was recorded in front of a live audience at Evanta's CISO Executive Summit in Los Angeles. Joining me on stage was my co-host, Mike Johnson, and our guest Gary Hayslip, CISO, Softbank Investment Advisers. As a bonus, we were joined by Jewels Nation, the voice of the CISO Series. You hear her voice on all the bumpers for the podcasts. We all discussed:
Training the C-suite.
Are they aware how susceptible they are to cyberattacks? They are the vector most hackers are looking at when they're trying to break into your company. What's their level of awareness and if not aware, are they willing to be trained?
The CISO is the gold standard of how hard you should work.
Sadly, at the Evanta CISO Executive Summit in San Francisco I overheard a CISO who worked three hours every day on vacation admit that he tells his employees, "Do as I say, not as I do." Problem is that person is the CISO and employees realize that if they to want to be a CISO, they have to do as the CISO does not as he says. Apparently that's
not
to have a work/life balance.

CISOs seek out other CISOs and VC firms for advice on (new) solutions.
Given that so many email pitches are ignored by CISOs, we questioned whether they still had any value. Little to none responded our CISOs. Instead, CISOs listen to other CISOs, and if they're looking for new solutions, they reach out to VCs.
