A 500+ person company doesn't have a security department. They need one and they need to convince the CEO they need one. How do you build a cybersecurity team and program from scratch?

Check out this post for the discussion that is the basis of our conversation on this week’s episode co-hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), the producer of CISO Series, and Geoff Belknap (@geoffbelknap), CISO, LinkedIn. Our guest is Rishi Tripathi (@ris12hi), CISO, Mount Sinai Health System.

Thanks to our podcast sponsor, Tines

Tines was founded by experienced security practitioners who cared about their teams. When they couldn’t find an automation platform that delivered, they founded a company and built their own. A few years later, customers like Coinbase, McKesson, and GitLab run their most important security workflows on Tines – everything from phishing response to employee onboarding.
