Lessons from an InfoSec Icon: A Fireside Chat with PCI Guru Jeff Hall
Manage episode 382611518 series 3372765
Hello and welcome to Razorwire, the podcast where we delve into the world of cybersecurity with top experts and industry leaders. I'm your host, James Rees, and I can't wait to share this episode with you. As a PCI DSS QSA, I’m delighted to have PCI expert Jeff Hall as my guest today.
This episode will give you a unique perspective on how security has evolved from early mainframe days to today's interconnected, risk-focused practises. Jeff tells us about his hard-won lessons and wisdom gathered over decades steering information security programmes, including the need for compliance to work alongside overall security and not hinder it, and why auditors should be viewed as allies, not adversaries.
We give you some unique insights on the upcoming PCI DSS v4, the changes we can expect, and what we should be prepared for. We also talk about the issues that shortened CISO tenures create and how this can hinder long-term security progress. Learn why it’s important to focus on the big picture when it comes to security goals rather than getting distracted by minutiae.
We cover a wide range of subjects throughout this episode, with some really useful takeaways. One of the key points, and I really must agree, is the importance of matching security priorities to business risk, not compliance checklists. Jeff gives us his advice on focusing on the appropriate controls for what you aim to protect.
For CISOs, security leaders, and practitioners at all levels, you’ll gain insight into building effective programmes that deliver real protection. Tune in to level up your approach with advice from this industry luminary and compliance guru.
So, if you're ready to up your cybersecurity game, join us on Razorwire. Stay informed, connected, and inspired. Together, we can build a safer digital world. Let's get started!
