Episode 6 explores the relationship between the Chief Security Officer (CSO) and the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). My guest is Todd Lessem from Diakonos Management Solutions.

In our conversation, we emphasize the importance of collaboration, especially from a cybersecurity and risk perspective. We explore how these two roles can work together effectively, not only during incidents but also in routine operations.
