This episode features an interview with Gary Harbison VP, Global CISO at Bayer. Bayer is a global enterprise with core competencies in the Life Science fields of healthcare and agriculture with a market cap of $53.5B. Gary has over 19 years of experience in the Information Security domain (21 years of overall IT experience) that includes roles at multiple global fortune 500 companies, as well as public sector experience with the US Department of Defense.

On this episode, Gary delves into where he thinks the largest gaps in security are today, what he believes will be a major issue in the future that nobody is currently aware of, and why he analogizes security leaders to car brakes.

-------

“I would say that more than anything, I think people look at security as we exist to stop things. And while yes, we do want to stop attacks from happening and such, but in much the same way that having brakes on a car enables you to go faster, having a good security team that is able to assess and balance risk and bring forward solutions that allow you to take the right risks in a responsible way, can actually help the company move faster and help achieve business goals. So looking at it as we’re here to say no, or to stop things, we’re actually here to help figure out a way to say yes in a responsible way, and that can actually help the business move faster.” — Gary Harbison

This episode features an interview with Joe Topinka, CXO Advisor at Netskope. Joe is a mentor, author, speaker, and CIO with more than 35 years of experience leading IT organizations to drive business results. He is the founder of CIO Mentor, a consulting company that aims to help IT leaders achieve success in their organizations.

In this episode, Mike sits down with Joe to discuss enterprise risk management, fostering relationships with business units, and people-powered frameworks.

-----------------

“I think having an enterprise risk management program is really huge. Whether it's formal or not, somebody has to be responsible for risk overall. That gets to this whole idea that it is a team sport and everyone has a role to play, especially business unit leaders that are making decisions on cloud platforms on their own. They're playing a huge role on that. [...] The idea around cybersecurity several years ago, it wasn't quite where it is now, but the enterprise risk management team has done a really solid effort of elevating the dialogue and getting everyone more cognitive and aware that cybersecurity is not just an IT thing, it's a company thing and it fits into the whole cybersecurity framework overall.” – Joe Topinka

This episode features an interview with Marilyn Miller, Chief People Officer at Netskope. Marilyn is responsible for Netskope’s global human resources functions, including employee experience and talent acquisition. She has over 20 years of experience in high-visibility HR roles, including Anaplan, Alfresco, and Cisco Systems.

In this episode, Mike and Marilyn discuss building security into the fabric of your organization, working collaboratively with CIOs and CISOs, and using storytelling to attract talent.

-----------------

“We talk about security as a team sport and a shared responsibility and accountability. I think the more that you can drive it from it's instilled in your culture and your values, you have less of a dependency than on the policing and the policy requirements of it. You still need to have those things in place, but I believe a lot in how do we educate, how do we enroll, how do we talk about the importance, how do we make it part of the fabric and culture of the company? And everybody understands their responsibility around data security, and the protection of it.” – Marilyn Miller

This episode features an interview with Jason Clark, Chief Strategy, Security and Marketing Officer at Netskope. Jason hosted season 1 of the Security Visionaries Podcast and has spent nearly 30 years in security, serving companies like The New York Times, Optiv, and Emerson.

In this episode, Jason passes the baton to Mike Anderson, Chief Digital and Information Officer at Netskope. They discuss security as a team sport, creating a human firewall, and what the future of security holds.

-----------------

“I think that security needs to be built into everything from the beginning. You build security in, and that's still probably a challenge at a lot of places. But that's the only way to have really good security, and it's to simplify. The enemy of security is complexity. Everybody's probably seen the aspects of quality and security that the difference of the cost of building it in right to begin with, versus the cost of coming and being reactive and trying to remediate is significant. So I think security should be in the beginning of that conversation.” – Jason Clark

This episode features a roundtable discussion with Shamla Naidoo, CISO, Head of Cloud Strategy at Netskope, Steve Riley, Field CTO at Netskope, Mike Anderson, Chief Digital & Information Officer at Netskope, and last but certainly not least, David Fairman, APAC CSO at Netskope.

On this episode, Shamla, Steve, Mike, and David all share their predictions for 2022 and beyond. You’ll hear predictions ranging from more mental health support for security leaders to the increase of companies measuring their carbon footprint, and everything in between. If you’re in security and are curious about what the future of the industry might look like, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

----------------

“My last prediction, Jason, is that what we’re going to see is CEOs in particular creating programs to support the mental health and wellbeing of the security leaders...this job is really hard and it continues to get harder, but at this point, there's very little in the way of mental health support for the security leaders and for the security teams. So I really think that CEOs are going to start to double down on not just innovating for the business. But also helping the CSOs to create both innovations for security, giving them the tools, the technology, and the solutions to kind of help them do their jobs better, but also supporting that with mental health and wellness support programs...And I think with that needs to come, not just funding and the support that we be seeing today, but it needs to come with mental health and wellness support because this job is probably the most stressful in the C-suite today.” — Shamla Naidoo

“This landscape is changing and it comes to a point where I honestly believe CSOs are going to be some of the highest paid professionals in the future. And it's already heading in that direction. Over the last few years, we've seen a lot of change already, but this is going to be one of the most highest paid jobs in business because it will get to a point that you're not going to be able to pay people enough money to take on this amount of risk.” — Emily Health
