Join Allan and Dr. Mike Brass (whose degree is in archaeology!) as they jointly explore the technical side of the house vs. the GRC side of the house, noting that GRC can be a great path to CISO.

Hear Mike's journey from IT technician to GRC to CISO.

Topics Allan and Mike cover:

  • The tension between tech teams and GRC teams, and how a CISO can bridge the two teams
  • Reasons why GRC makes such a great background for the CISO role (and how to get there)
  • What engineering/architecture folks should know about GRC
  • What GRC folks should know about the tech side of the house
  • What the rest of the business should know about GRC

You also get to hear Mike's journey, which has spanned small and large companies, government think tanks and more!
