Thank you for joining us for another episode of the CU Lab. I'm Madeline Kronfeld with America's Credit Unions, and today I am sitting down with William Wetherill, Chief Information Security Officer at DefenseStorm, to talk about The Evolving Role of the CISO: From Technical Expert to Strategic Leader.  William, it's great speaking with you, and thanks so much for joining us today. Join DefenseStorm expert William Wetherill for an informative session to explore: how the role of CISO changed from being a technical role to a more strategic one, the key responsibilities of a CISO in managing an organization's cyber and technology risk posture, the importance of having a CISO at the decision-making table, how the SolarWinds case highlights the need for transparency in cybersecurity practices, potential legal and financial consequences of failing to prioritize cybersecurity, how CISOs can effectively protect their organization by expanding their strategic roles, the importance of training and awareness in maintaining cybersecurity, the role of the CISO in incident response planning, how the CISO can stay updated on the latest cybersecurity trends, threats, and mitigation strategies, the role of a CISO in ensuring regulatory compliance, and more.  In This Episode: [00:31] Today I am sitting down with William Wetherill, Chief Information Security Officer at DefenseStorm, to talk about The Evolving Role of the CISO: From Technical Expert to Strategic Leader. [01:30] Being able to properly implement risk management decisions, especially in the cyber age we live in, is incredibly important so CISOs have a lot of challenges here. [02:27] Having a leader who can really communicate cyber risks and understand how ready that institution is to deal with cyber events is incredibly important. It really comes down to culture, communication, and being able to help drive that leadership and strategy in a way that ensures the protection of the organization.  [02:58] Having the CISO with their knowledge of the potential impacts really helps drive a strategy that is understanding of those risks.  [05:36] We need to be talking about risk openly. We need to be documenting and really understanding what remediating risk looks like and how you do that strategically.   [08:09] The ramifications and outcomes can be huge in a lot of different ways.   [11:19] Because of this awareness training and just training in general about cybersecurity becomes even more important.  [12:14] Treating people with the respect they deserve for being such an integral part of how a business runs and operates is incredibly important and every CISO should be out learning and understanding their challenges.   [14:28] It is critical that any CISO actually goes and meets the people where they are.   [16:38] Governance, risk, compliance, and adherence to regulatory controls are all being looked at much more closely. You are also seeing other technology that is coming into the fold directly responsible for helping CISOs navigate those waters.  [18:28] The reaction from the governing bodies is directly related to the needs of the position. They're trying to help make sure that we are positioned in a way that gets us the most possibility of success, maturing our postures and protecting the institutions.  [19:08] Communicate first and relate. Understand the organization.    Links and Resources: NAFCU DefenseStorm William on LinkedIn

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the CU Lab. I'm Randy Salser, President of NAFCU Services, and today I am sitting down with Elizabeth Houser, Director of Cyber Defense at DefenseStorm, and James Bruhl, Director of Cyber Threat Intelligence at DefenseStorm.   The recent bank run at Silicon Valley Bank has clearly shown how dangerous false information can be, proving that financial panics aren't just things of the past like we see in old movies or history books. Social media's ability to spread rumors and fear quickly played a big role in this panic, as social media posts about the bank's health fueled a bank run. The event underscores a broader concern, especially in an election year, where the blend of social media's influence and the sophisticated tactics of social engineering and scams pose a significant threat.  Cybersecurity experts are increasingly alarmed at how these platforms can be exploited to fuel not just financial instability but also to undermine democratic processes and public trust, emphasizing the need for everyone to be careful and well-informed online. Join DefenseStorm experts Elizabeth Houser, Director of Cyber Defense, and James Bruhl, Director of Cyber Threat Intelligence for an informative session to explore: The role of media and social media platforms in spreading and sensationalizing false information, the threat of social engineering and scams perpetuated by media platforms, the importance of cybersecurity awareness and vigilance to protect yourself and your members from social engineering threats, and how to educate and foster awareness with your employees and members to combat the impact of false narratives and encourage critical evaluation of online information.

In this episode of the CU Lab, your host Randy sits down with Elizabeth Houser, Director of Cyber Defense, and James Broad, Director of Cyber Threat Intelligence, both from DefenseStorm. We explore the critical topic of safeguarding credit unions with threat intelligence, with Elizabeth defining threat intelligence as analyzed information about cyber threats, emphasizing its simplicity, and James discussing the role of threat intelligence feeds in real-time risk reduction. The conversation covers evolving cyber threats, staying current with trends, and dispels the misconception that threat intelligence is overly complicated. Join us for a concise yet insightful discussion on fortifying credit unions against cyber threats!

Janie Wall is back again, this time sharing her sales coaching secrets including what she learned from her mentor that informs her coaching today.  Janie shares specific actions that increase the skill, motivation, and success of her sellers.  About Helen's Guest: Janie Wall joined DefenseStorm in November 2020, bringing with her over 15 years of technology sales experience. Janie is a self-described ‘sales geek' that is passionate about helping companies develop go-to-market strategies to drive revenue acceleration.  Janie believes that sales coaching is the most under-prioritized responsibility of a sales manager and loves to leverage data to improve performance and drive results – building a data-driven, connected, coaching culture.  It's important to use key metrics to drive coaching.  But to make metrics and coaching meaningful, it's paramount to lead with empathy and never forget that, regardless of title, we are all just humans trying to achieve the same goal.  

In this episode, guest Janie Wall joins Helen to explore the power of data in building strong sales team cultures.  It is so critical for sales managers to recognize and utilize the “hard” metrics we are all so familiar with such as pipeline coverage and revenue attainment as not only measures of success, but as guideposts to lead us to opportunities to improve the “soft” skills and culture of our teams. In the data, we can find the real answers to unlock even greater success and the clues to a winning culture. Enjoy!
