Inside AppSec - A podcast by Contrast Security
Categories:
This podcast—the first in a two-part series—features an interview with André Tehrani, a partner at Recrewmint, a firm focused singularly on cybersecurity recruiting services at the executive level. André explains how the role of the CISO/CSO has never been so difficult. C-suite executives and boards of directors are seeking CISOs/CSOs with not only the technical cybersecurity skills and experience but also broad business acumen. Soft skills are more than just differentiators for winning candidates today; they are requisites. CISOs/CSOs with this unique combination of technical and business capabilities have a distinct advantage over other candidates who lack their breadth of skill sets and experience. By listening to this podcast, CEOs and boards of directors will discuss what other companies are emphasizing in their CISO/CSO searches, while CISO/CSO candidates will gain critical insights on what skill sets and experience matter the most to prospective employers.
