In this episode of The New CISO Podcast, host Steve Moore is joined by guest Rich Durost, CISO at Froedtert ThedaCare Health. As Rich himself puts it — he’s been working in IT security for 15 years, IT in general for over two decades, and leadership for over a third of a century… But it all began as a young man at West Point. So, how can cutting dessert translate to security? And how did his 23 years in the military shape his outlook on the corporate world? Rich joins the podcast to cover his philosophy for leading teams as a CISO.
