CISO Soul Searching: Navigating the Evolving Role of the CISO – Harold Rivas – BSW #344
Harold Rivas has held multiple CISO roles. In his current CISO role, he's championing Trellix's overall mission to address the issues CISOs face every day, encouraging information sharing and collaborative discussions among the CISO community to help address challenges and solve real problems together - part of this is through Trellix's Mind of the CISO Initiative and the Trellix CISO Council. In this interview, we do a little CISO soul-searching. Harold will bring insights from the initiative to cover some of the top challenges CISOs face in this ever-evolving role, including:
- Earning a seat at the table
- Talking the language of business
- Addressing the risks and opportunities of business evolution
- Reading the tea leaves of the future
and more! If you're a CISO or want to be a CISO, don't miss this episode.
