Hiring a security leader? That can be tricky. Many people serving in those roles focus first on tactics and operational capabilities. Hiring a true security executive or CISO can be key to avoid building unnecessary capabilities that can add expense and slow down the business. This is especially important in a modern tech company who use leading practices that drive change. Things to consider? • Can they understand the business and align security to it? • Do they ground in risk (asset + threat + vulnerability) and not just vulnerabilities? • Can they understand your market and compliance drivers -- navigating them only doing what's necessary at the right time? • Can they identity security features for your products that create competitive advantage? Building too much too soon is difficult to walk back. Your customer contracts will enforce it and it's difficult to explain why you stop doing something that might have been avoided. The wrong hire can compound this challenge whereas a strategic CISO can drive value. #ciso #hiring #healthtech #strategy
