The Best Interview Questions and the Answers You Want to Run From

Andy Ellis, operating partner, YL Ventures and I welcome guest Renee Guttman, former CISO, Campbell’s, Coca-Cola, and Time Warner to discuss:
When interviewing, what are the right answers, and which ones are red flags that should cause you to run?
Has the cloud just created a bigger security problem that's creeped up on us?
Are legacy systems just a ticking time bomb or have you seen success in managing them?

Best advice I ever got in security...
"Send three thank you notes on a Friday to someone or a team that did something for your program that week. Tell them what they did, why it was of value. That way your team will become more approachable, and they just might call you when something goes wrong." - Renee Guttman, former CISO, Campbell's, Coca-Cola, and Time Warner.

Overheard on Defense in Depth
"I don’t think that starting position for a CISO role that comes in 10 or 15 years of one’s career is as important; however, I would suggest that having a technical background is important in understanding and absorbing difficulties and complexities of technical positions and security risks. So, I would, from the college perspective or the higher education perspective, I would agree or suggest, recommend having a technical degree, or at least having some technical understanding of relatively complex issues from the technical side." --Evelin Biro, CISO, Alliant Credit Union.
