Manage episode 280633283 series 2288586

- Why SMBs absolutely need a security program
- How and when to hire a vCISO, and when it's time to hire a full-time CISO
- How industry associations can help their SMB members
- The headwinds of change that a CISO will encounter, including "Technical Ego"
- Why SMBs need to think about "Extinction Events" in their security planning
Recoil in horror as John, Malcolm, and Chad share stories from their pasts, including: users with one-character passwords, RSA auth tokens zip-tied to forklifts, and how one company had more domain admins that IT staff.
