Bluecore CISO Brent Lassi joins Chris Martinez on CISO Insider to chat about the many things he’s seen and learned and worked on over two decades in the cybersecurity industry. From founding one of the first application security companies in the world, to following the evolution of DLP over the years, to now working in a cloud-native world without a traditional perimeter and how these challenges led him to Nightfall, Brent has many stories to tell. Here are just a few of the topics we get into today: how security can be a sales tool, the connections between risk tolerance and revenue for a business, and why a great staff around him is the true X factor in security success. We hope you enjoy this extra long edition of CISO Insider with Brent Lassi.

PagerDuty Head of Information Security Lisa Hall joins us on CISO Insider for an in-depth discussion on what diversity in the infosec industry really looks like — not just hiring to meet DEI quotas, but fostering differences to build strengths across the board. Diversity in thought and background among her staff is a success factor for Lisa’s team, and it leads to greater diversity in the work they do at PagerDuty. Other ideas we chat about today include the importance for leaders to make and maintain connections within the industry, and turning the restrictions of COVID into a positive in recruiting wins for Lisa’s team, like the ability to expand hiring to a greater pool of candidates and optimize for remote work.

In our Season 3 premiere of CISO Insider, Acquia VP of Security and CISO Robert Former discusses working as a cybersecurity leader today. Robert shares how radical transparency has helped him at every step of his career: making the right decisions for his org by accepting the right levels of risk, effectively managing data security and compliance in a Platform as a Service environment, and maintaining the connections necessary to make remote work successful. We also get into what ethical hacking really means and the importance of securing user data in his dual role at Acquia as the steward of security operations and governance. You’ll hear the straight talk with a sense of humor on cybersecurity in our chat with Robert today.
