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.
