[AISWorld] Episode #25 -- Perspectives of a Global Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)

Wed May 11 06:00:21 EDT 2022

Dear Colleagues:

Greetings!

In a wide-ranging discussion, *Vishal Salvi, CISO & Head of Cyber Practice
at Infosys*, sheds light on a range of topics from CISO empowerment to
creating and sustaining a high-performance information security culture. He
highlights the importance of "delivering on your agenda" for CISOs to gain
trust and credibility. Vishal also recommends making the CISO role
independent of the CIO, uniformly enforcing security policies across the
organizational hierarchy, and operating at a high state of readiness. Hope
you enjoy the episode.
