When he joined the retail giant 18 months ago, Belk CISO Scott Frost was given the charge to totally rebuild the cybersecurity and compliance program. Since then, Frost’s program has undergone an unprecedented transformation. By deploying countless new tools, building a SOC from scratch, segmenting off their most critical environments, leveraging the plethora of high-profile breaches to gain executive support and growing the team from two members to 30 plus (to name just a few), Belk’s vast, impactful, and profound security and compliance makeover has turned out a gem. Frost dons his hard hat to share Belk’s transformation journey, leadership lessons learned along the way and what his peers can take away for their own transformations.
