Listen "No Longer a Drill"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Mike Anderson, CIO & CDO at Netskope, joins Jonathan to discuss several IT horror stories that have stuck with him throughout his career – including a fire suppression test gone wrong, how he helped his organization quickly recover from a ransomware attack in his first tenure as CIO, and now as a more seasoned CIO, how he thinks about taking calculated risks, investing in people, and depositing in relationship accounts to drive business forward.---------Key Quotes:“ Security is everyone's responsibility in an organization. It's not just the CIO. It's not the CISO. It’s everyone in the organization, including the board of directors. And it's your job to make sure you're bringing forward the risks and having conversations about your risk appetite and how much you're willing to invest around the various controls you need to have and why certain controls are more important than others, depending on the business you're in and the risk if those business operations are disrupted.”“ Things are going to happen. Things are going to go wrong. It's how you respond to it and how you recover. It's the resilience of your team.”“ We have to make sure we're making calculated risks, but we also have to make sure we're creating a culture where people can experiment because that's how we're going to drive real innovation inside of our organizations.”---------Time stamps:01:08 - Meet Mike02:58 - The shutdown disaster05:38 - Managing risk06:06 - First CIO cyber incident15:17 - What we’ve learned29:23 - The fiber catastrophe---------Links:Find Mike on LinkedInFind Jonathan on LinkedInLearn more about NinjaOne
