CISO's guide to embracing risk in business

CISO's guide to embracing risk in business

What is it like to build a successful business based on risk? In this episode Ashish spoke to Fredrick Lee, CISO at Reddit. FLee shared his deep insights into the essential role of risk in driving business success and innovation. With a career that spans across notable tech giants like Square (now Block), Twilio, and Gusto, Lee brings a wealth of experience in both hardware and software security landscapes. Without embracing risk, businesses risk stagnation in a world where competitors are always ready to innovate. From discussing the cost-effective strategies in cybersecurity to exploring the formation and goals of Reddit's S.P.A.C.E team (Security, Privacy, Automation, Compliance, and Engineering), this episode gets into the challenges and opportunities presented by the modern tech environment
