Episode description

We declared a while back that 'not having a seat at the table' was a tired CISO topic.  So we decided to solution the complaint.

Hopefully we pulled it off.

Join Allan and Jim McConnell, Principal at Ask McConnell, LLC and former Fellow in Corporate Security Protection Operations at Verizon, as they take on the challenge of solving this common lament.

There is a fierce round of "answer pong" as they throw out suggestions on how to earn that seat, but they also cover:

  • What does it mean to have a seat at the table?
  • Ownership vs. advising
  • Bridging the chasm between the two
  • Supplier/Vendor to the business - is that a good model?
  • BE the business (yes, that always comes up!)
  • How to become a business expert

And of course, the aforementioned game of Answer Pong as to how to earn that seat.

Y'all enjoy the show, and y'all be good now!
