    The Changing Risk Landscape: CISO Liability - Darren Shou - BSW #362

    How are personal liability and indemnification impacting the CISO role? Darren Shou, Chief Strategy Officer from RSA Conference, describes the current landscape of CISO liability and the challenges facing CISOs today. He discusses the implications of the SEC's recent actions, including the charges against SolarWinds' CISO, and the growing trend of personal liability for security leaders. Darren will also highlight comparisons between the roles of CISOs and CFOs, highlighting what security professionals can learn from their financial counterparts in handling risks and responsibilities. Finally, he explores how to build an effective coalition, both internally with company executives and externally with peers. In this ever changing risk landscape, it takes a village, and Darren shares his vision for how to build that village. This week we talk a lot about the CISO's relationship with the business and the challenges of being aligned and keeping up. We also talk about budget priorities, the challenge of doing security in small businesses, and the ever-present challenge of burnout. Finally, we discuss what servant leadership actually means. On this last topic, Ben makes a book recommendation, which you can find here: https://www.amazon.com/Seat-Table-Leadership-Age-Agility/dp/1942788118 Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/bsw for all the latest episodes!

    Why Cyber Resilience Matters - Andrew Harding, Theresa Lanowitz - BSW #361

    What are the barriers to cyber resilience today? Why is it so difficult? And what is coming next, that will generate resilience challenges further down the line? After five years of focusing on the short- and medium-term future of cybersecurity and edge, this year, LevelBlue wanted to understand what is preventing cyber resilience—and what business leaders are doing about it. Theresa Lanowitz, Chief Evangelist at LevelBlue, joins us to discuss the results of their research. Segment Resources: LevelBlue.com/futuresreport This segment is sponsored by LevelBlue. Visit https://securityweekly.com/levelblue to learn more about them! While CISOs are often responsible for technology implementation, they are not getting the support they need at a strategic level. The Accelerator found that 73% of CISOs expressed concern over cybersecurity becoming unwieldy, requiring risk-laden tradeoffs, compared to only 58% of both CIOs and CTOs. Understanding the C-suite’s business priorities is critical for shaping effective cybersecurity strategies. Identifying how these essential roles look at the business helps to ensure alignment among CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs, as well as the teams that report into them. It’s a key first step towards bolstering cyber defenses, especially with the CEO and Board support. This segment is sponsored by LevelBlue.

Employees spend up to 80% of their working hours in a web browser, and threat actors are increasingly leveraging browsers to target users and initiate attacks. Disrupting the tool employees use for 80% of their job would have massive impact on productivity. Rather than ripping and replacing, enterprises can turn any browser into a secure enterprise browser.

    Closing CISO-CEO Communication Gap Requires a Common Business Language - Sumedh Thakar, Jeff Recor - BSW #357

    Back in April, we covered a story on episode #348 titled "CISO-CEO communication gaps continue to undermine cybersecurity". In that article, Sumedh Thakar, the CEO at Qualys, stated "CISOs must translate technical risks into business impact for CEOs." But he didn't say how. So, we invited him on the show to explain. In this episode, Sumedh walks us through real life interactions with his CISO and Board and explains why security needs to be communicated in business terms. Security is a risk management discipline. No one understand that more than Jeff Recor. Jeff has built risk management practices for Deloitte, Grant Thornton, and Accenture and has recently formed his own risk consulting practice. In this unscripted interview, Jeff will share his insights on the evolution of security as a risk management discipline, what CEOs and Boards really need, and how CISOs can be successful as a business leader.
