On today’s show our guest is Helen Patton, CISO Advisor for Cisco Duo. Previously, Helen was an Executive Director at JP Morgan Chase, and CISO for Ohio State University.

Helen talks candidly about these two wildly different experiences—as well as how to know when it's time to leave a company, resilience in the age of Covid and killer hornets, and how the CISO role is likely to develop over the next three years.

In the virtual studio, we chat about the new executive order signed by President Biden aimed at improving the United States’ cybersecurity, and Ben runs down his latest threat research on supply chain attacks.
