Building Cybersecurity Teams and Virtuous Circle With Clients

Episode No: 60

In this episode of the ScaletoZero podcast, we had a very thoughtful discussion with Jesse Miller who is also known as an operational powerhouse when it comes to information security and compliance.

This episode is a must-watch for all the leaders who are building their cybersecurity teams. Jesse also shares some real uncommon insights (without sugarcoating facts) that will help security leaders and SMBs build their cybersecurity teams.

Learnings from the podcast

  1. Create and Practice a Culture of Knowledge, Learnings and Growth. This not only helps you in hiring new Security Roles but also helps in Retaining them.
  2. For a Startup, hire a generalist as a First Role. This helps in Building the Trust and relationship foundation between Security and other Teams for Longer Term.
  3. Follow a Risk Centric vs a Tool Centric Approach for building Security Practice in the Organization. Unless you have a solid security program, tools can’t make you meet your security goals.
