All links and images for this episode can be found on CISO Series (https://cisoseries.com/defense-in-depth-ciso-tenure/) The CISO has the shortest tenure of any C-level role. Why so brief? Is it the pressure, the responsibility, the opportunities, or all of the above? Check out this LinkedIn discussion to read the basis of our conversation on this week’s episode co-hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series and guest co-host Gary Hayslip (@ghayslip), CISO, Softbank Investment Advisers. Our guest is John Meakin, CISO, Equiniti. Thanks to this week's podcast sponsor, IBM Security.

IBM operates one of the broadest and deepest security research, development and delivery organizations. It monitors more than two trillion events per month in more than 130 countries and holds more than 3,000 security patents. On this episode of Defense in Depth, you’ll learn: There's a lot of confusion as to what a CISO needs to do. All job descriptions for CISOs are different. There are humans behind the data and as a result CISOs are tasked with protecting the humans. CISOs can improve their tenure if they seek out a business mentor to allow them to better support the business. CISOs who aren't able to communicate clearly will not last long. It's a CISO's job to communicate in the language of the business, not the other way around. Before the CISO ever arrives, there's a business culture. There's always going to be a natural push back from the business. "Why are you making us change?" A simple walkabout the office can solve a lot of uncertainty. If employees start asking questions about their personal security, that's a good sign the CISO has successfully inserted security into the business culture. Another huge factor that impacts CISO tenure are the increased opportunities. Regulations and privacy laws are pushing companies to get CISOs to provide much needed oversight. What does the reporting structure in your organization mean in regards to the CISO being heard at the executive and board level?

Dutch Schwartz, of AWS said that they take meetings per a recommendation of their staff, their peers, or they have an explicit problem that they've already researched, or they have known unknowns. Are those the reasons to take a meeting with a security vendor? We discuss what meetings CISOs take, and which ones are the most attractive. It's time for "Ask a CISO" Israel is known for a thriving startup community. But what I always see is cross pollination between Israel and Silicon Valley when it comes to startups. We discuss what Israeli startups can learn from Silicon Valley and vice versa. What's Worse?! We've got two rounds. One agreement and one split vote. It’s time to measure the risk Five years ago I wrote an article for CIO.com about the greatest myths of cloud security, The first myth was the cloud is inherently insecure. And the other 19 are ones I'm still hearing today. My conclusion for the whole article was if you can overcome these myths about cloud security, you can reduce risk. In this segment we dispel cloud security myths and explain how the cloud helps reduce risk possibly in ways many of us are not aware. Close your eyes. Breathe in. It’s time for a little security philosophy. On this podcast we talk a lot about CISOs needing to understand the business. In a thought-provoking post on Peerlyst, Eh-den Biber, a student of information security at Royal Holloway, University of London, noted that the job of cybsecurity is more than that. It's about understanding the flow of business and being present in the individuals' lives and their stories. We discuss the importance of being present in your users' lives. It's time for the audience question speed round The audience has questions and our CISOs have answers. We get through a lot really quickly.
