Stop Asking CISOs if They Care about Security

Want to get under a CISO's skin? Ask them if they have a concern for security in their environment. It's like asking a chef if they're concerned about preparing food. In this week's episode of the CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast we learn how the following:

• Dumbest mistakes you can make as a CISO
• What to do on day 1 when you're a CISO
• Why is everyone talking about this now? Questioning a CISO's job interests.
• Please, Enough. No, More on GDPR.
• We critique a vendor pitch.
• And "Ask a CISO."

As always, the show is hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), founder, Spark Media Solutions and Mike Johnson, CISO, Lyft. Our guest this week is Richard Greenberg (@ragreenberg), CISO, LA County Department of Health Services as well as chapter presidents of ISSA and OWASP in Los Angeles.
