In this episode, Tia Hopkins, Chief Cyber Resilience Officer at eSentire, and Greg Crowley, Chief Information Security Officer at eSentire, discuss the trends they are seeing from a budgetary perspective and how security leaders can build a more resilient security operation. Key topics of discussion include: Most common types of cyber threats impacting businesses (e.g., the ‘as-a-service' business model, nation-state cyberattacks, etc.) Why security leaders need to shift from a cyber risk reduction mindset to building cyber resilience mindset The two options that security leaders have to build a more resilient security operation (i.e., DIY approach vs. outsourcing 24/7 threat detection, investigation, and response capabilities) How to build alignment with finance leaders to get the cybersecurity investment you need --- Have a question for us?

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...
