CISOs Don’t Care About Your Funny Sales Pitch – CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast
Don’t bother trying to craft a potentially clever, funny and adorable email that you hope will tickle a security practitioner; it’s simply not going to work. When it comes to security pitches, practitioners just want the facts. While humor is appreciated, a cold email pitch is not the time to showcase your creative writing skills.
On this week’s CISO/Security Vendor Relationship podcast, You’ll discover that InfoSec truism and:
- 10-second security tip (do you have these security controls in place?).
- The correct pronunciation of CISO (and whether anyone cares).
- Consumers and activists issuing lawsuits in the name of GDPR and why that’s a good thing for the future of GDPR.
- The increasing cost of breaches.
- A new method to get a security practitioner’s time (Is the idea so crazy it will work? Or do we just need more crazy ideas?).
- How a security vendor helped me this week.
As always, the show is hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), founder, Spark Media Solutions and Mike Johnson, CISO, Lyft. Our guest this week is Jeremiah Grossman (@jeremiahg), CEO, Bit Discovery.
