On this episode, Steve speaks with Eric Cole of Secure Anchor Consulting, about why Eric believes it’s important for CISOs to step away from the more technical aspects of security. They also talk about some of the common misconceptions about what a CISO actually does.
Advice for a New CISO
Eric shares his one rule when speaking to the board: keep it short and simple. The only thing board executives care about is the potential for risk and what it will cost to fix that risk if it occurs. Going into this with a data, tech-focused perspective will not allow for a thorough understanding of the situation between the CISO and other executives.
