78 | The Nexus Between Privacy, Cybersecurity & National Security

This week we are joined by Ron Raether, co-lead of the Privacy + Cyber team at Troutman Pepper, and explore aspects of the recent criminal conviction of Uber’s former CISO and fallout from Twitter’s former CISO turning whistleblower. The “culture of fear” that has developed in CISO offices nationwide has dramatically increased risk for companies that have such a culture. Ron Raether discusses how organizations can better support their CISOs and how the general counsel and outside counsel can help influence change in organizations for better governance and cyber risk management. We also explore how CISOs can gain more C-suite visibility and board access.
