What's the mission of your security program? Is it to proactively SECURE THE COMPANY against a compromise of the CONFIDENTIALITY, INTEGRITY, and AVAILABILITY, OR, is it to PROTECT THE COMPANY BRAND by effectively PREVENTing, DETECTING and RESPONDING to cyber-threats? These are the two options for security's mission that we discuss on this week's show.

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, guest co-host Steve Zalewski, Deputy CISO, Levis, and our guest, Johna Till Johnson (@JohnaTillJohnso), CEO, Nemertes Research.
