Gabe and I have an awesome conversation with Chris in this
episode. We already declared him a recurring guest and I hope you
enjoy our chat. Here are some of the questions asked during the
episode:Do you see that disconnect between CISO's and CIO if so,
what are some of the causes of it? As well as what can you do to
bring harmony to it? “Cybersecurity and privacy are defining issues
of our time,” said Dr. Hugh Thompson, Program Committee Chair at
RSA Conference.Alright, it’s August 21st, 1996 and Bill Clinton
just signed the law for HIPAA to be in full effect! What were you
doing at this time and Were you even in cybersecurity?With all of
your years of being a CISO and working in security, do you think
most companies incorporate “privacy by design” which helps with
global data privacy regulations into their IT systems today?I know
this is a long term approach but I think it’s something most
organizations have just used as a checkbox exercise. Do you think
organizations are able to measure and demonstrate compliance With
global data privacy regulations? If so, How important is it to
utilize a comprehensive governance framework?I see a lot of
organizations that don’t have a Data Protection or Privacy officer,
they throw those data privacy and data access duties onto the CISO
when does a company become to assign or hire a DPO And why do we
see this shift happening across the states? Is it mainly because of
GDPR?What are you most looking forward to for 2020 in data privacy?
