Harvey Wallbanger (a frequent commenter) asks: “How different is the reality of work for a CISO compared to the average 9-5er?”
Well… Let’s start with how busy it is…
Basically, I don’t have much of a life beyond work. There’s a certain “Superman” tendency amongst those who do this which leaves them unable to just walk away from the strain, stress or awareness of unmitigated risk at the end of the day.
For the most part though, I wouldn’t change it, I’m hacking an entire organization instead of one or two piddling little machines.
What would you say is the part of your work which sets you apart from the average 9-5er?
Why do you do what you do?
