“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

Building Permanent Security Awareness with Daniel Hartert, CXO Advisor at Netskope
This episode features an interview with Daniel Hartert, CXO Advisor at Netskope. Over the last 20 years, Daniel has held CIO and CEO positions at large international organizations like Bayer Business Services and Philips Group. He is also a co-founder of DCSO (Deutsche Cyber Security Organisation), a company working to strengthen protection against evolving and growing cyber threats.
In this episode, Mike sits down with Daniel to discuss communicating with C-suite executives, how advisors can enable people through security, and the critical success factors of a CIO.
-----------------
“I'm coming from industries where manufacturing and health and safety was a big point. So, in these industries, there is a mindset around EHS; environmental, health, and safety. [...] I see a strong analogy because watching out for a malicious email or malicious emails is very similar to using the handrailing when walking down the staircase. So, this is what we need to build into the DNA of an organization, this permanent security awareness. And if we can build this, then this protection level of a company will immensely increase. Because in the end, the doors to malicious actions are always the people.” – Daniel Hartert

Looking Forward to 2023: Predictions and Resolutions
This episode features Mike Anderson leading a roundtable discussion with Ilona Simpson, Chief Information Officer EMEA at Netskope and David Fairman, Chief Information & Chief Security Officer APAC at Netskope.
In this episode, Ilona and David share their predictions and resolutions for cybersecurity in 2023. You’ll hear predictions about the industrial metaverse, confidential computing, quantified risk reduction plans, and convergence of priorities for security teams.
-----------------
“If you think about cybersecurity, we are just a subset of a broader operational risk. Operational risk actually has a much better approach or a little bit more maturity in being able to quantify operational risk in the organization. CISOs need to be able to stand toe-to-toe and be able to have a discussion at parity in regards to risk buydown for this subset of operational risk. And that's really where we are. I think as an industry, as a practice, as a profession, we need to get much smarter at figuring out how do we make this a much more quantitative conversation.” – David Fairman
