Howdy, y’all, and welcome to The Cyber Ranch Podcast!  That’s Jon Green, an experienced CISO but also an experienced CTO.  Jon is currently the CSO and CTO at HPE’s Aruba.  He’s also a DefCon goon and a Team8 Villager.  He’s done the marketing engineer side, the network engineer side…  Quite a storied past.  We are thrilled to be talking with him about the differences between CSO/CISO and CTO.  Jon, thank you so much for joining us at the ‘Ranch!

  • Tell us about your early career, did you start in security or as a technologist?
  • What are the key priorities for someone with a CTO title? 
  • As someone who has held both CTO and CSO titles, how does the pressure to deliver revenue impacting products differ from the pressure cyber leaders face?
  • What does it feel like to be on the receiving end of security requirements which are often developed in the abstract or for the general case?
  • When you are assessing future trends and technology shifts, what are the different lenses you use to make the security evaluation vs the more functional and integration-oriented evaluation?
  • What is something you have learned which surprised you?  What do you wish other CSOs understood better?  What is a piece of advice…
  • You’ve been involved in Defcon and other cyber events for many years, what changes have you seen during that time?

Y'all be good now!
