Alan & Mitchell's Podcast

His name is Mike and he is a security-holic.  Running from fire to fire, his life is just not fun.  Bringing order to this chaos and a method to the madness is the Pragmatic CSO, a 12 step program to being a Security Master.  Mike Rothman is trying to show us a better way.  His book on the subject is garnering lots of attention, as well it should.  Join Mitchell and I as Mike gives us one of the first in depth interviews into the real "Pragmatic CSO".  We really dig into the 12 steps and find out what the Pragmatic CSO program really is.  In part 1 of this special edition we cover the first 2 sections of the book including: Step 1: Assess the Value of Your Business Systems Step 2: Baseline Your Environment Step 3: Manage Expectations Step 4: Build Your Security Business Plan Step 5: Sell the Story Step 6: Procure the Solution If you are curious what the Pragmatic CSO is really all about, you should not miss this discussion.
