Now is the Time to Improve Cybersecurity Metrics with Rick Howard

We are doing cybersecurity metrics wrong! There are better ways and my guest Rick Howard, the CSO at N2K and longtime cybersecurity metrics expert, provides insights into how metrics can support cybersecurity programs and decisions. This is a timely topic as there are more pressures on CISOs, from new regulations, emerging standards, higher Board expectations, and SEC enforcements, that are increasing the need for better cybersecurity metrics.

Rick and I probably had too much fun in this podcast, arguing and bantering. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. I look forward to our next chat!
