Why do C-suites instinctively fire the CISO when a breach happens? | Guest Jonathan Gill

Today on Cyber Work, Jonathan Gill, CEO of Panaseer, joins me to talk about the stress-filled role of the Chief Information Security Officer. Jonathan notes that the most challenging part of a CISO’s role, especially the CISO of a large, complex company, is the lack of full view of the organization’s assets and points of vulnerability. Jonathan tells us how Panaseer is working to create a trusted and validated system of record to ensure accurate and good faith recording of actions, strategies, and decisions to accept or mitigate business risks. All this, and a discussion of the CISO as one of the story-makers in the C-suite, today on Cyber Work! 0:00 - Firing CISO's after cybersecurity breaches4:23 - First interest in cybersecurity and tech7:41 - Working with cybersecurity leaders across the world11:17 - International sales work19:12 - Stave off burnout as a CISO 28:20 - Notion of asset detection 32:06 - Culture of sacking CISOs 43:06 - Better CISO involvement 49:09 - Cybersecurity career mapping strategies57:13 - Learn more about Jonathan Gill and Panaseer59:09 - Outro– Get your FREE cybersecurity training resources: https://www.infosecinstitute.com/free– View Cyber Work Podcast transcripts and additional episodes: https://www.infosecinstitute.com/podcastAbout InfosecInfosec’s mission is to put people at the center of cybersecurity.
