Run Your Security Program Like an Election Campaign - Kush Sharma - BSW #367

Security Weekly Podcast Network (Audio)

Does the CISO need to act like a politician? Negotiating budgets, communicating risks, and selling your strategy across the organization does sound a little like a politician. And if that's the case, are you hiring the right campaign staff?

Kush Sharma, former CISO for CPR, City of Toronto, and Saputo, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why you should run your security program like an election campaign. Kush will discuss the other positions you need to hire, not just the technical positions, to help you budget, communicate, and sell your strategy. A politician can't do it all by themself, so why should a CISO?

In the leadership and communications segment, PwC Urges Boards to Give CISOs a Seat at the Table, CISO Salary Surge: Fewer Job Changes, Bigger Paychecks for Experienced Cybersecurity Leaders, Fostering a cybersecurity-first culture: Key leadership insights for building resilient businesses, and more!
