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!
