In this episode…
A chief information security officer is vital to protecting an organization from cyber threats. However, the role has become a watered-down casual term — many people wear the title, but need more training and qualifications.
Veteran security professional Olivia Rose asserts that in-house CISOs are expensive resources. Instead, organizations can benefit from outsourcing virtual CISOs, as they are cost-effective, offer an objective viewpoint, and provide higher expertise. In addition to experience and certifications, Olivia maintains that security experts can stay current on trends and jargon by using online educational platforms like Coursera and YouTube. Olivia also recommends taking an introduction to marketing, as it helps them effectively convey messages.
In this episode of the She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels interview Olivia Rose, Founder of Rose CISO Group, about the role of a virtual chief information security officer. Olivia discusses burnout in the security profession, the qualifications and responsibilities of a vCISO, and who benefits from CISO services.
