Thank you to Mandy Huth, CISSP, CIPT, QTE and Whitney Merrill for taking the time to join us on the ITSPmagazine Podcasts - CISO Circuit Series. In this episode we have a candid discussion around the challenges facing security leaders in their quest to achieve balance between protection, innovation, and regulation.  Their unique insights and wisdom around this growing concern is both extraordinary and entertaining. Sean and I could have gone at least another hour on this topic with these two amazing leaders; perhaps a Part II in the near future... Sean Martin - thank you to you and your team for producing this episode. Truly appreciate your partnership and collaboration. Hope everyone enjoys this gem!! #gratitude #womenincyber #cisos #community #infosec #cybersecurity #ITSPMagazine #liability #hitchpartners #moderncisosearch

⚫ Balancing the Dual role of the Field CISO ⚫ Always valuable and entertaining to spend time with the great Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli from ITSPmagazine Podcasts.  The position of "Field CISO" has become one of the fast-moving and more often adopted senior positions in the cyber community, creating intrigue and even some controversy over its approach and definition of scope. In this live BlackHat podcast session we cover the balance and objective of the role, reporting structure, compensation and other points around this unique position. Please enjoy and we always enjoy seeing your comments. Thank you again to ITSPmagazine Podcasts for having me on the show! #gratitude #fieldciso #cisos #vciso #cloudsecurity #womenincyber #cybersecurity #productsecurity #leadership #technology #tinkertribe #hitchpartners #moderncisosearch
