BoC #10: Actively Listen to Ensure Alignment with the Business (w/ Bill Bonney)

Bill Bonney is a well known figure in the security community having co-authored the CISO Desk Reference Guide with Matt Stamper & Gary Hayslip. Their book series is a meant to be a practical guide to help modern CISO's take on many challenges including executive leadership, communication, and business savvy. So of course, right in our wheelhouse. 

The books recently been published into the Cybersecurity Canon, the leading authority of cybersecurity content and books managed by Palo Alto Networks and The Ohio State University. 

During today's discussion, Bill and I discuss:

• How security leaders can conduct 'walk-about's' to position themselves as business enablers with the intent to listen and learn rather than describe how you support them
• CISO's forming a mentor relationship with a seasoned business leader within your organization
• The role digital transformation has played and will continue to play for security teams
