Please join us on Friday May 30, 2025 for Super Cyber Friday.

Our topic of discussion will be “Hacking Provable Security: An hour of critical thinking on how to go beyond security ratings and questionnaires”

Joining David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series for this discussion will be:

Sravish Sridhar, founder and CEO, TrustCloud

In preparation for our discussion, think about the following:

Where do traditional questionnaires and security ratings fail to prove security?

Why do we see different standards for internal security versus third-party security assessments, and what problems does this create?

When should our third-party vendors actually be treated like first-parties?

What specific metrics should organizations be tracking to demonstrate provable security in real-time?

How can CISOs evolve from checking compliance boxes to proving actual security effectiveness?

What are the core elements that constitute truly "provable security" beyond the paperwork?

Why do some CISOs resist transparently measuring their security effectiveness?

What's preventing the security industry from developing a more standardized approach to proving security posture?

How does the mandate of a CISO differ from other C-suite roles when it comes to measurable outcomes?

How might AI and automation change our approach to proving security effectiveness?

What are the most common false positives in current security rating services, and why do they undermine trust?

What are the fundamental metrics that constitute provable security?

It all starts at 1 PM Eastern/10 AM Pacific. At the end of the hour [2 PM Eastern/11 AM Pacific] we'll switch gears to our meetup where everyone will get a chance to chat face to face.

Best bad ideas get first responses in "Department of YES" or “Beat the Bad Idea”.

The BEST bad idea wins an award and a really awesome CISO Series jacket. Also, if you register early by the Tuesday (5pm PT) of that week’s video chat, you will be entered into a raffle where one lucky register will win a jacket (Winners must be US residents. Repeat winners get a $25 Amazon gift card).

Super Cyber Fridays are open discussions where all viewers and listeners are welcome to become participants. Before the scheduled event, connect your webcam and microphone (avoid Bluetooth). During the discussion, if you have a question or comment, let it be known in the chat room and our producer will do his best to get as many of you into the conversation. We look forward to you joining us.
