How Should Security Vendors Engage With CISOs?

All links and images for this episode can be found on CISO Series. One CISO has had enough of the security vendor marketing emails and cold sales calls. He's blocking them all. But it's not a call to avoid all salespeople. He just doesn't have the time to be a target anymore. So how should vendors engage with such a CISO? And does CISO represent most CISOs today? 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.
