Are You Asking “How Secure Are We?” or “How Insecure Am I?”

CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast Are You Asking “How Secure Are We?” or “How Insecure Am I?”

Andy Ellis and I welcome guest Kevin Morrison, CISO, Alaska Air to discuss:

  • How do you answer the question, "Are we secure?"

  • Red flag-level bad security: Run away or offer to help?

  • How necessary is it to know patterns of where and how criminals are going to attack?

  • How to manage the risk of onboarding entry level cybersecurity personnel who lack prior job experience?
