How do you make the argument that your company needs a CISO, and that YOU should be that leader? What do you need to demonstrate to prove you can be that person?

Check out this post and this post for the discussion that is the basis of our conversation on this week's episode co-hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), the producer of CISO Series, and Geoff Belknap (@geoffbelknap), CISO, LinkedIn. We welcome our sponsored guest Radley Meyers (@radleymeyers), Partner, SPMB Executive Search.

In this episode:

• How do you make the argument that your company needs a CISO, and that YOU should be that leader?
• What do you need to demonstrate to prove you can be that person?
• Do you have a sound understanding of the WHY behind the organization's existence and how value is added or taken away?
• How do you lay out a plan to win in whatever industry you are in because of security NOT despite it?
