Placing the CISO closer to engineering and IT can help make better recommendations and choices but may require additional views of risk management alongside other types of business risks.This conversation highlights the changing role of CISOs in companies and the potential need for multiple CISOs (or sub-CISOs) to manage different aspects of security may be on the horizon, something startups may not be ready for but should begin to prioritize during the early build stage if they are to avoid costly situations later.____________________________ResourcesPodcast: CISO Stories Recounted By The World's First CISO | A Conversation With Steve Katz: https://itspmagazine.simplecast.com/episodes/ciso-stories-recounted-by-the-worlds-first-ciso-a-conversation-with-steve-katz____________________________To see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastWatch the webcast version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllS9aVGdiakVss9u7xgYDKYqAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
