b'Trust, but verify. These famous words of Ronald Reagan, who, incidentally, would make a fantastic CISO, are also the simplest explanation of what it\\u2019s like to work as a virtual CISO. If step one is building trust and relationship with clients, step two is being let in to see all the inner workings and operations to make informed and strategic decisions.

  • Real examples of what a vCISO does
  • Scope vs Risk vs Gaps
