Cloud Security in the BoardRoom - CISO Perspective with Phil Venables

CISOs in organizations that are going through digital transformation have a responsibility of educating the board on how Cloud Security is measured and improved on to manage the risk posture of the organization. We had Phil Venables, CISO of Google Cloud share from his experience of serving as a CISO for so many years on how to best share cybersecurity and cloud security metrics with the c-suite and the board.
