Do cybersecurity professionals even know what they're protecting? How aware are they of the data, its content and its sensitivity? What happens to your security posture when you do understand the data you're protecting? What can you do that you weren't able to do before?

Check out this post for the basis for our conversation on this week's episode which features me, David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series, and Steve Zalewski, CISO, Levi Strauss, with our sponsored guest, Aidan Simister (@aidansimister), CEO, Lepide.

Thanks to our podcast sponsor, Lepide
