In today’s dynamic cyber threats environment, what should be the single most critical advice for optimal security initiatives that CISOs need to mind. Katie highlights the areas of priority for security investment, given the current attack trends and organizational vulnerabilities. She suggests that while implementing a risk-based approach to budget allocation is a wise step forward, CISOs should also be mindful of the business impact as well as compliances, which is so critical.

She also speaks about the chance of working in the cyber security industry as a woman, where she learned the ropes on the job, and how she met the career challenges that she faced in the learning process.
