Check out this post for the discussion that is the basis of our conversation on this week’s episode co-hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), the producer of CISO Series, and Geoff Belknap (@geoffbelknap), CISO, LinkedIn. Joining me is our guest, Phil Davis, attorney, healthcare cybersecurity and privacy, Hall Render.

In this episode:

• In today's current climate, is the role of the CISO still worth it?

• Does the position carry a lot of potential liability?

• Do the upsides still outweigh the risks?

• Do CISOs tend to have more responsibility than authority?
