Free the CISO

About Free the CISO

Don’t CISOs focus on security already? Not necessarily. To be honest, CISOs have it hard. Navigating SEC disclosure rules and compliance regulations. Protecting against an increasingly volatile threat landscape with limited capital and personnel. Building relationships with and meeting the expectations of the board, CEO, CFO, and countless other stakeholders. Managing and extracting useful data and insights from too many security tools, all with their own unique semantics and file formats. No wonder the average CISO's tenure is measured in months and not years. In this podcast series from DataBee®, from Comcast Technology Solutions, we attempt to free CISOs from their shackles so they can focus on what matters most: securing their organization.
