CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast

Holy Crap! We’ve Been Doing This for Three Years!

Mike Johnson and I are celebrating three years of CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast. We started the podcast after what was arguably a very hostile environment between security practitioners and vendors. Has anything changed over those three years? And have we helped?We welcome guest Dan Walsh, CISO, VillageMD, and plenty of contributors, to ask ourselves:

• What’s changed in the industry and has anything improved?

• What are listeners getting out of the show?1

• How has communication changed among CISOs in three years?

• Is there more compassion for vendors now?

• How is the vendor landscape changing?
