Cio Quotes

“How can one identify the true owner of a cyber risk? When everyone is responsible, no one is responsible. This is an undisputed fact. To the best of my knowledge, organizations often rely on frameworks such as RACI matrices (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) to formally assign ownership. From another perspective, however, the “true owner” of a cyber threat is its creator. And here is where the truth may reside. Whether it is hackers, insiders, corporate culture, a lack of CISO expertise, disinformation, or perhaps the very silos you have built. And wait. What about your CIO, your CEO, your Board?

I mean to live my life an obedient man, but obedient to God, subservient to the wisdom of my ancestors; never to the authority of political truths arived at yesterday at the voting booth. That is a program of sorts, is it not? It is certainly program enough to keep conservatives busy, and Liberals at bay. And the nation free.”
