As a longtime attorney specializing in privacy and data protection, Randy Gainer has seen the true nature of the information security world, and it’s not pretty. While CISOs are faced with navigating a multitude of compliance and regulatory concerns, managing frequently understaffed teams and operating on shoestring budgets, perhaps their greatest challenge is effectively communicating the true status of security to the board (and somehow doing so in a positive way). Gainer provides a career’s worth of insights into the real and scary reality of the security landscape, who the bad guys really are, how CISOs should be communicating this news to leadership, and ultimately, what can be done about it.
