Closing CISO-CEO Communication Gap Requires a Common Business Language - Sumedh Thakar, Jeff Recor - BSW #357
Description
Back in April, we covered a story on episode #348 titled "CISO-CEO communication gaps continue to undermine cybersecurity". In that article, Sumedh Thakar, the CEO at Qualys, stated "CISOs must translate technical risks into business impact for CEOs." But he didn't say how. So, we invited him on the show to explain. In this episode, Sumedh walks us through real life interactions with his CISO and Board and explains why security needs to be communicated in business terms.
Security is a risk management discipline. No one understand that more than Jeff Recor. Jeff has built risk management practices for Deloitte, Grant Thornton, and Accenture and has recently formed his own risk consulting practice. In this unscripted interview, Jeff will share his insights on the evolution of security as a risk management discipline, what CEOs and Boards really need, and how CISOs can be successful as a business leader.
