In the 3rd episode of The Abhisek Cast, I talk with Chris Rock—co-founder and CISO of SIEMonster, with more than 30 years of experience in cybersecurity. We explore why most companies still struggle with basic asset visibility, how to approach company mergers from a security perspective, and how a solid framework like ISO 27001 saves startups from painful mistakes.
