Set It. Forget It. Reset It. Repeat.

This week's episode of CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast

Set It. Forget It. Reset It. Repeat.

This week's episode is hosted by me, David Spark, producer of CISO Series and Mike Johnson. Our guest is Brett Conlon, CISO, Edelman Financial Engines. All three of us discussed:

The "set it and forget it" attitude towards security is a path to insecurity.Maintenance and situational awareness is the key to security. If you become complacent and think everything's OK, that's when you get into trouble. Given that the industry is constantly changing and in flux, even your ethics can't be set it and forget it. Those need to change as well.

The best thing you can do when your company is suffering a known vulnerability is to be available. The most frustrating aspect of security is the unknown. The more information you can provide customers even when you've had to admit a failure is valuable. Silence brews mistrust, and trust can be more powerful than a product that has yet to have a major vulnerability.

As a candidate, what's your unfair advantage? Less traditional skills are still highly appreciated in security, and it can be the one thing that puts you over the edge. While many candidates will approach with certificates and on the job training, what's diverse in your background that can be applied to security? CISOs want people who will challenge their existing viewpoints or attack problems in way they aren't event thinking about. How can your passion and background deliver on that?
