"Hacking Provable Security" - Super Cyber Friday
By CISO Series
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
- Tony Spinelli, former CISO, Capital One
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.
HUGE thanks to our sponsor, TrustCloud
