I Pity the Fool Who Builds a Homogeneous Cyber A-Team

Andy Ellis, operating partner, YL Ventures and I welcome guest George Finney, CISO, Southern Methodist University and author of “Well Aware: The Nine Cybersecurity Habits to Protect Your Future” and "Project Zero Trust" to discuss:

  • What are the personality types you need on your staff?

  • Can you be a vCISO if you're not a CISO first. And if you're a vCISO without ever being a CISO, are you just a cybersecurity consultant? 

  • Also, what are some creative uses of honeypots most users don't consider?

10-second security tip...

"Well, you probably heard the advice that an ounce prevention is worth a pound of cure. And studies have shown that a cyber security strategy focused on prevention is actually five to ten times less expensive than one that’s focused on being reactive. Which is why I think zero trust is so important. Because it’s a strategy for how to put prevention into practice." --George Finney, CISO, Southern Methodist University

Overheard on Defense in Depth 

" I think that it is the task of labeling and understanding what data and how we can identify that, and who should be responsible for that that’s the problem. I do think that if we’re taking the human factor out of that equation, I think that’s more reasonable and a scalable approach. Probably we need to see what is the source of that content or what is the source of that document and apply that policy based on source. I think that’s probably the best technique that we can apply these days." --Aviv Grafi, founder and CTO, Votiro

Super Cyber Fridays!

WOW! Four Years of CISO Series

Hacking the CISO Series: We’re turning four years old!

Four years ago I launched the CISO Series. At the time, we had only one show. Today, we’ve got five shows, with plans for a lot more. Here are some statistics for you:

  • We’ve produced a total of 1138 episodes

  • Cyber Security Headlines: 630 episodes

  • CISO Series Podcast: 218 episodes

  • Defense in Depth: 182 episodes

  • Super Cyber Friday: 104 episodes

  • Capture the CISO: 4 episodes

  • All supported by a whopping 189 sponsors (one more after we recorded the video).

Our actual anniversary is October 1st, but we’re going to celebrate on the eve of our anniversary, Friday, September 30th, 2022 for Super Cyber Friday.

Our topic of discussion will be “Hacking the CISO Series: We’re turning four years old!”

Get insights of how we produce CISO Series. Meet all the people who work behind the scenes, and get a chance to connect with fellow fans. 

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. Plus we’ll play some games.
