They might be leaders in the cybersecurity industry and top of the ladder within their organization, but CISOs still need advice! And when they do, they often turn to trusted advisors to help them with strategy, product, network and vulnerability decisions. So, who are these CISO advisors? How did they achieve their 'CISO whisperer' status, and what role do they play? New co-host, cybersecurity expert, speaker and CISO advisor Jennifer “JJ” Minella joins Mitch Ashley on CISO Talk. JJ and Mitch explore the role advisors play in helping guide cybersecurity leaders and their organizations across diverse subjects, including network technologies, governance and compliance, AppSec and securing cloud-native infrastructure and applications. Mitch and JJ also discuss plans for future episodes including discussions with security practitioners about the cybersecurity challenges organizations face and best practices for addressing those challenges.
