Cyber Sales ABCs: Always Be Creepy

Cyber Sales ABCs: Always Be Creepy

On this week's CISO Series Podcast, I welcome guests Steve Tran, CSO, Democratic National Committee, and Matt Crouse, CISO, Taco Bell to discuss:

  • What do security leaders do when they can't push through security initiatives they know should be done?

  • Is this a real concern for CISOs, and if so, how does a CISO handle their staff when best efforts get thwarted? 

  • What's your advice for new CISOs when dealing with unsolicited sales emails from security vendors? Do they just ignore it all? Should they filter it out?

Overheard on Defense in Depth 

"When I worked in health care, I actually came across a nurse who had transitioned over into cyber security because she really started to understand the implications of security to protecting patients, but she found that the cyber practitioners were really using the wrong language to get across to doctors and nurses. And so what she took as her own personal mission was to educate cyber security practitioners to instead say, “I believe that I have a patient safety issue that you have overlooked.” And to begin the conversation that way would get the attention of the doctors and nurses and shift it into their language."  --Sara Hall, deputy CISO, MassMutual

Super Cyber Fridays!

Build Trust With Customers and Partners… Proactively

Hacking Customer Trust

We want customers and partners to trust us, but far too often we put the onus of trust on those who need to trust us. Why don’t we make it easy for them to trust us by giving them the information they need at the time they want it. This is the very discussion I had with Al Yang, CEO/co-founder, SafeBase, a platform that allows you to provide public and private information in a manner that makes most sense to those looking understand and trust your business.

It’s all a tease for this Friday’s, October 21st, 2022 for Super Cyber Friday entitled, “Hacking Customer Trust: An hour of critical thinking about what are the elements required to build a confident business relationship.”

Joining me and Al for this discussion will be Kathy Wang, CISO, Discord.

It all starts at 1 PM Eastern/10 AM Pacific. At the end of the hour [2 PM Eastern/11 AM Pacific] we’ll switch gears to our meetup where everyone will get a chance to chat face to face.
