Down The Security Rabbithole

In this episode   I posed some questions to Joey, an InfoSec professional who had recently moved into a CISO role in a midwest retail company: Let's talk a little bit about the background you had before walking into your first day as a CISO... How long have you been in your role, and what do you think "so far"? What do you think were the biggest lessons you've learned in your time as a new CISO? What do you make of all the talk about CISO burn-out rates, and the average tenure of a CISO being less than 2 years? What do you see as the role of the CISO in today's business climate? How do you work with other IT leadership, and executive leadership to make your mark and do your job? From your experience, what do you think someone who is taking a new CISO role, or thinking about doing so, should know?
