Brass Tacks #8 - Board Communication Essentials for CISOs: Meeting Exec Expectations

Fortinet Cybersecurity Podcast

The buck stops here—or does it? How much should former US President, Harry S Truman's famous slogan apply to the role of CISO? In this episode of Brass Tacks - Talking Cybersecurity, host Joe Robertson is joined by Raffaele Maresca, Global CISO at AkzoNobel, for an illuminating discussion of the evolving role of the CISO. Rather than pinning ultimate responsibility for all cyber risk on the CISO, Raffaele argues that once risks have been identified, quantified, and a plan of action agreed for their reduction, it should then be up to asset owners to ensure adherence to the agreed plan. He then shares approaches that have proved effective in managing the expectations of non-technical board members who often have a more binary, "is my business at risk or not?", attitude to cybersecurity. Whatever your role in today's digital world, don't miss this broad and fascinating discussion."
