Security Unlocked; What does it take to be a CSO

Today guest, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dave Komendat, a retired vice president and chief security officer for The Boeing Company, a role he held for 14 years of his 36 years within the security profession. Komendat was responsible for the company's global security and fire protection policy and procedures, site security, executive protection, supply chain and aviation security, structural and aircraft fire protection, government and proprietary information security, classified cyber security, strategic intelligence, international security, business continuity, and disaster preparedness, Global Security Operations Center, and security background investigations. Komendat was also the lead Boeing interface for national and international security policy engagement with numerous government and industry advisory groups. He represented Boeing as a past co-chairman and current board member on the Domestic Security Alliance Council, past President of The International Security Management Association, and a member of the Threats and Information Committee for the Overseas Security Advisory Council. Talk about over-achievement; let's dive in and talk about what it takes to be a CSO.
