We Take Security and Privacy Seriously… Seriously

All links and images for this episode can be found on CISO Series

After every breach, you hear the same mantra from the attacked company: "We take security and privacy seriously." It's lost all its meaning. But what if you truly ARE serious about how you handle security and privacy? Should you say "seriously" twice?

This week’s episode is hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series and Mike Johnson. Our guest is Geoff Belknap (@geoffbelknap), CISO, LinkedIn and co-host of Defense in Depth. It was recorded in front of a live audience at Microsoft's Silicon Valley Campus in Mountain View, California as part of a regular ISSA-SV and ISSA-SF meeting.

In this episode:

• If you truly ARE serious about how you handle security and privacy, should you say "seriously" twice?
  
• Given the immense complexity not just on integration but also training, are we going to see more consolidation of point solutions into suites?
  
• When would it make sense for a company to completely dump their security team and completely outsource it? And if you were to outsource it, what the heck would that look like?
