Throughout the dialogue, listeners can gain an understanding of the importance of implementing relevant metrics, such as Mean Time To Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time To Respond (MTTR), for tracking growth within cybersecurity contexts. However, there's much more to metrics than just these two figures.Both Allie and Jeff emphasize that metrics should be perceived not merely as numerical values but as valuable guideposts aiding decision-making. This perspective, attributed to the Lean Startup philosophy by Eric Ries, encourages using metrics to guide future actions, understand current decisions, or evaluate past outcomes. They stress that metrics should have a genuine purpose and contribute meaningfully rather than just providing quantitative data.Furthermore, the conversation underscores the relevance of metrics to the decision-making audience. Allie and Jeff agree that metrics should differentiate between what matters only to your team and what's necessary for strategic decisions in the broader organization. They become truly impactful by ensuring metrics support decision-making and reach the right audience, whether it's senior leadership, the security program, or the tactical metric practitioners.Storytelling's role is highlighted as vital in presenting these metrics to various stakeholders, making the data more meaningful, understandable, and actionable. The conversation extends the notion of metrics, applying concepts like readmission rates, commonly used in healthcare, to measure incident recurrence in cybersecurity.The trio also spotlights the need for a synergistic relationship between the Security Operations Center (SOC) and Vulnerability Risk Management (VRM). Such a relationship fosters improved security posture through effective incident management and prevention, with Allie reasoning that translating data into something meaningful for other business units is crucial.Touching upon individual metrics in the context of career progression, both Allie and Jeff emphasize the necessity for individuals to define their career-oriented metrics based on their personal goals and organizational expectations. This understanding can help leaders prove their program's success and influence others.The conversation ultimately underscores the importance of the right data sources for calculating meaningful metrics. Without the correct data, generating truly impactful and actionable metrics becomes impossible. Jeff cites an example of a financial organization that used a unique metric to measure insider risk, emphasizing the complexities and challenges of deriving meaningful and actionable cybersecurity metrics.There's a lot to unpack in this conversation.

In this episode of The New CISO, Steve is joined by guest Michael Meis, Associate CISO of the University of Kansas Health System.Beginning his career in the U.S. Army Signal Corp, Michael eventually transitioned into government consulting and the private sector. Today, he shares his philosophies on leadership and ownership in the cybersecurity field. Listen to the episode to learn more about his extensive technology background, the importance of inter-department friendships, and how he helps fellow service members make their professional transitions.Listen to Steve and Adam discuss how to navigate bureaucracy and adapt to corporate environments:Meet Michael (1:41)Host Steve Moore introduces our guest today, Michael Meis. Michael has been in IT and security for fifteen years and healthcare for two years. Michael met Steve a year ago during a security conference, leading to their connecting around the industry and their philosophies on leadership.Michael also reflects on his role in the military, which began with him working with radios and evolved into performing general technology support.Getting His Start (6:09)Michael was always interested in computers but initially never saw it as a career. He decided to join the military instead. However, his military recruiter encouraged him to take a tech-related job, and his security journey began. This first army signal corps job was less computer-heavy than expected, but Michael still learned a lot.Dealing With Corporate Politics (9:07)For ten years, Michael worked as a government consultant. This experience taught Michael to navigate complex bureaucratic dynamics to get past red tape.Michael highlights the importance of having solid relationships in different departments to get things done. You can determine which workplace rules to bend when you understand how things are and how your organization operates. Finding a Path (14:01)Michael expands on the importance of relationships in a corporate setting. You can leverage those relationships when needed to promote your department's agendas.The more you understand your organization's rules and politics, the less friction you will face, and the more you can build a trusted security culture. Government Challenges (22:44)Steve presses Michael on his quote, “Governance is important, but alone won't solve all of your problems.”Anyone who has worked in government understands that there are always challenges within its IT environments. Since the government has total control over its IT, Michael learned early on that more than governance is needed to perfect these systems. Collaboration is needed between parties.Excuses, Excuses (28:13)Michael shares the security community's common excuses that tend to irk him. Budget professionals can be challenging to work with from a leadership perspective. He also gets frustrated when people use a lack of training as a reason not to try something. Michael values training, but he understands that sometimes you have to take action before that formal training comes.Behavioral Norms (33:50)Michael explores the behavioral norms that came out of his military service.Learning how to function in a corporate environment is essential for people to know when leaving the military. The benefits of this experience were the rigor and structure, which can provide direction in life. On the flip side, it can be challenging to transition from that structure because you can grow dependent on it.Helping Others (39:07)As a leader, Michael tries to help other service members remove their need for a manual when making corporate transitions. That way, they can learn to embrace their...

There are far too many egos and many gatekeepers. What can be done to improve recruiting of CISOs? Check out this post and this post for the discussions that are 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 with our guest Ty Sbano (@tysbano), CISO, Vercel. Thanks to our podcast sponsor, Thinkst Most Companies find out way too late that they've been breached. Thinkst Canary changes this. Deploy Canaries in minutes and then forget about them. Attackers tip their hand by touching 'em giving you the one alert, when it matters. With 0 admin overhead and almost no false-positives, Canaries are deployed (and loved) on all 7 continents. In this episode: What can be done to improve CISO recruiting? Is there a disconnect between HR and what the company actually needs regarding a position? How long should the interview process take?

Many Security Leaders today are burned out from having to overcome challenges like the misalignment of cybersecurity programs with organizational strategy and answering the question of where cyber really lies within the organization. What can you do to get buy-in from the Board for your security programs? Mathew Sharp and Kyriakos “Rock” Lambros had very different starting points to their cybersecurity careers, but there is one thing they agree on: there is a dire need for CISOs to gain business knowledge to understand the business they operate in and therefore be equipped to effectively communicate security needs to the Board to garner support for their programs. The co-authors of The CISO Evolution: Business Knowledge for Cybersecurity Executives (which was recently featured in the Forbes Executive Library) share what inspired them to write the book, their personal learning journeys, and evolutions as CISOs, and answer the question: do we need more business-savvy CISOs or technology-savvy Board members? The Ask A CISO podcast is a production of Horangi Cyber Security, Asia's leading cloud security provider. The show is hosted weekly by cofounder and CEO, Paul Hadjy. -- Show Notes and Transcript -- https://www.horangi.com/blog/the-ciso-evolution -- About Horangi Cybersecurity -- More information about the Ask A CISO podcast: https://www.horangi.com/resources/ask-a-ciso-podcast About Horangi Cyber Security: https://www.horangi.com --- About the Guests -- Matthew Sharp's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ciso-mba/ Kyriakos "Rock" Lambros' LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rocklambros/ The CISO Evolution: https://www.cisoevolution.com/

Yet, over and over again I meet Security Leaders that thrive on designing security fiefdoms with large moats, and one bridge that they roll down only when they intend to roll out a new technology, initiative or need budget authority.

Businesses are looking for specific leadership skills from their CISOs. In this episode we are talking about some of the traits that Jeff has identified in his research of thousands C-Level job descriptions, and by interviewing hiring managers.
When it comes to access control, guest Lee Odess has done it all. He boasts more than 18 years' experience starting, building and leading businesses in the security and IOT industry and is now the founder and CEO of Group337 and the brains behind Inside Access Control. His map of where organisations sit in the physical access control industry recently went viral. In today's episode, Blair asks Lee about the thought process behind this now infamous infographic, and his thoughts on the future of user credentials. They discuss how the lack of ownership within organisations have led to ineffective, siloed security frameworks and look at ways organisations can streamline their org charts moving forward. They also explore touchless authentication methods, such as facial recognition, hand waving and eye reading, and the importance of understanding the use cases and value propositions of different authentication methods and biometric modalities.

Show Notes: https://justinfimlaid.com/1-thing-i've-learned-about-successful-security-leaders/ Sponsor: https://www.nuharborsecurity.com Contact Me: https://justinfimlaid.com/contact-me/ Twitter: @justinfimlaid LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jfimlaid/ I traveled to 7 cities this week. It was a little intense to say the least. Luckily I had some awesome company with me which made the trip a little easier. While in Austin I was listening to the cover band the Spazmatics and I was talking to a friend about the Pwned Podcast. We were kicking around ideas for content, so out of Austin Texas, this weeks question - what is single commonality I see amongst successful security leaders. One commonality I see among successful security leaders. It's their ability to build relationships within a security organization. They are able to get their peers and other folks in the organization to pick up the security gauntlet to enable the security program. They are also able to get their organizational cohorts to self select the correct security decisions when no one else is looking. I was pretty fortunate early in my career that someone much smarter than me taught me about the "Not invented here" stance by many people. The idea of Not Invented Here is someone's general resistance to an idea because it wasn't their own, and they no matter what believe their ideas are better. From Wikipedia "The reasons for not wanting to use the work of others are varied, but some can include a desire to support a local economy instead of paying royalties to a foreign license-holder, fear of patent infringement, lack of understanding of the foreign work, an unwillingness to acknowledge or value the work of others,jealousy, or forming part of a wider turf war. As a social phenomenon, this philosophy can manifest as an unwillingness to adopt an idea or product because it originates from [somewhere else]." From What I learned from this is sometimes arguing with someone who has this not invented here stance matters less because it's while you may win the argument now, that same person will try to prove in the long term while you were wrong and look to sabotage, perhaps indirectly, your success. I digress a little bit, but my point is that successful relationship builders can see the bigger picture don't get meyered down in petty arguments of singular facts. Rather concensus, and doing things together as a team, is the most important thing. As I look back over my career, I can clearly connect some realtionship dots. One thing I always did was take care of the vendors who took the time to visit me. See when I was a CISO, I lived in northern VT, and get anyone to leave Boston to make a 3 hour drive was amazing. Now, I wasn't always a buyer, but One thing I would always do is make it worth their drive by taking them out to dinner, spending time with people, learning about their personal life. Nothing lasts forever - and when I left my job, it was those vendor realtionships that helped me start NuHarbor Security. Now I'm on the Vendor side, I realized the Vendor community is a WAY WAY bigger network than security professionals who perform security within a company. The vendor network is big and they talk to everyone. They're an amazing network to draw on if you ever needed help. I often see security professionals treat the vendor community fairly harsh, and vise versa. But really, we're all fighting the same battle and we have a lot of commonalities. If we accept that we're better together. So my answer this week to what is a single commonality I see amongst successful security leaders. It's their ability to build long-term relationships with internal cohorts as well as develop external partnerships with outside organizations. These are the individuals I see excel in the their carrer.
