Bridging IT and Security: The CISO Perspective

Episode 01   Published January 11, 2024 18 minute watch

Summary

Good security is founded on good IT. Automox CISO Jason Kikta would pick a strong IT program over a strong security program every time, and he would pick it for security reasons. He spent more than 20 years in the Marine Corps and has worked across government, the private sector, and academia. To him, security comes down to anomaly detection: deciding what is normal and what needs investigating. That depends on something IT wrestles with daily. Configuration drift makes it hard to hold endpoints to a consistent state. A predictable environment makes both teams better at their jobs.
