How do you convince senior management to stop seeing cybersecurity as an afterthought, but rather as a business enabler? We also get a look at cybersecurity practices in the Middle East, a region most of us have never been to or worked in.

Tune in to this episode of Ask A CISO to also hear:

👉 Varun's strategy on getting management buy-in at organizations where cybersecurity is an afterthought

👉 What is cybersecurity transformation, and why is it so important?
👉 The cybersecurity landscape in the Middle East, and where it's headed.
👉 How he approaches management to pitch a holistic cybersecurity (People, Process, Technology) program
👉 Why you should manage expectations as a CISO and how to do just that?
👉 Why you can't avoid the cloud, and what you need to do before moving your business onto the cloud

The Ask A CISO podcast is a production of Horangi Cyber Security, Asia's leading cloud security provider. The show is hosted weekly by cofounder and CEO, Paul Hadjy.
