On this show, Steve speaks with Steve Marshall, CISO for Bytes Software Services, about why he moved from Biophysics to InfoSec and how business decisions drive risk.
How can security teams anticipate risks generated through business decisions and where a CISO can better connect with the board to meet those emerging risks head on?
Reaching Across the Aisle
Steve M explains why understanding different teams is imperative for business decisions, internal support, and collaboration. Stressing that the key is listening, he attends different meetings across different fields within the company to have a better idea of what each team is working on and what their needs are. Listen in to hear how connecting with other leaders outside of your department makes you and your organization stronger.
The two also tackle topics like:
- What qualifies as a “good CISO”
- How some hiring policies might overlook talented recruits
- Diversity in hiring and,
- Who ultimately owns risk
