Podcast highlights:

What’s the one thing you wished you knew before you started your journey?

When you’re starting your career in the cybersecurity domain, there are so many factors involved that you wish you knew before you started your journey. One of those is having more interactions with the individuals that are in your domain that can show you what’s on the other side of the curtain and who can give you clarity into the sort of works that you will be doing. It is very important to connect with people who have walked the walk before.

What are the main concerns CISOs nowadays have?

Every CISO I talk to has ransomware buried somewhere in their mind as a concern. It doesn’t matter what’s the size of the organization and which system they use, the problem of ransomware is still unresolved.
