Connecting Cybersecurity to the Whole Organization with Alyssa Miller

Today Corey chats with Alyssa Miller, the Business Information Security Officer for S&P Global. As a BISO, Alyssa is a self-described bridge-builder between the business side and the security side where we “protect all the things.” Corey and Alyssa begin by talking about the frequent disconnect between the corporate grind to earn and the less glamorous need for security, and move into a discussion of the ways that security can enable organizations to be innovative and create revenue. They end the interview with a conversation about the relationship between cybersecurity and legal, and by talking about Alyssa’s new book “Cybersecurity Career Guide.”
