Listen "CISO Interview: Jack Mersey Westbury Street Holdings"
Episode Synopsis
In a new series of interviews with cybersecurity leaders, we meet Jack Mersey, CISO at Westbury Street Holdings.
In an in-depth interview, he discusses threats -- from nation states to business email compromise -- security awareness and culture, and the challenges of ensuring security to a highly distributed business with 26,000 people and over 1000 sites that operates around the clock.
How does a CISO gain the confidence, and support, of colleagues from baristas and chefs to general managers and finance teams?
How can a security team operate internationally and keep headcounts low?
And how can cybersecurity leaders ensure security does not become a blocker?
