Today on Cyber Work, Jonathan Gill, CEO of Panaseer, joins me to talk about the stress-filled role of the Chief Information Security Officer. Jonathan notes that the most challenging part of a CISO’s role, especially the CISO of a large, complex company, is the lack of full view of the organization’s assets and points of vulnerability. Jonathan tells us how Panaseer is working to create a trusted and validated system of record to ensure accurate and good faith recording of actions, strategies, and decisions to accept or mitigate business risks. All this, and a discussion of the CISO as one of the story-makers in the C-suite, today on Cyber Work!

Today on Cyber Work, I’m introducing you to Dr. Georgianna, or “George” Shea, the chief technologist at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation. Shea finds new and developing technologies and develops pilot programs for implementation in a variety of locales, including DoD, the government sector and critical infrastructure. We talk about Shea's first taste of security, learn what it’s like to be knowledgeable in several dozen connected security spaces rather than being the all-knowing authority in one (and the knowledge that outside of the dozens you know, there are hundreds more to learn) and we answer the burning question: “Why don’t any of my interns know what NIST is?” All this, and some more talk about the security of the U.S. water supply (because you know I’m never going to stop asking about that), on today’s episode of Cyber Work!
