BSW #273 - Jess Burn

In 1995, Craig Newmark started curating a list of San Francisco arts and technology events, which he personally emailed to friends and colleagues. People were soon calling it “Craig’s List.” Most know the rest of the story. But what did that rapid entry into tech entrepreneurship teach him about information security? And how did that lead to a passion for, among other things, cyber philanthropy? SC Media's Jill Aitoro will speak to Newmark about his career, and his own evolution in infosec awareness that came with it.

Among the more challenging phases for a cyber business is transitioning from inspiring startup to successful enterprise, strategically leveraging investment to scale. SC Media's Jill Aitoro will sit down with Dave Dewalt, founder of NightDragon, and Matt Carroll, CEO of NightDragon's newest investment Immuta. Employees are on the move. As tech and security leaders adjust to managing hybrid teams, they should also plan for the loss and replacement of key security talent. Attrition and the increasing length of time needed to find a replacement leaves security programs — and firms — vulnerable. Implementing a formal succession planning process for the security organization mitigates risk and increases employee satisfaction and retention. This report provides steps for starting a succession planning program and real-world examples of companies that are already focused on developing and retaining the next generation of security talent.
