Deadline: 2:00 PM EST - 18 June
Query:
Information security departments have the reputation of being
underfinanced and short-staffed and that was before COVID. Now
as many companies cut budgets across all departments due to the
economic downtown, CSO's and other security heads are having to
find ways to cut something that was already pretty slim. How do
you do this in a way that isn't permanent? How do you cut your
budget now while making sure you'll be able to bring it back up
to normal resources once the crisis is over?
Requirements:
PR reps: Generic "I have a security guy, wanna talk to my
security guy" emails will be deleted. I know you need to meet
your KPI's, but helpful responses that directly address the
question only, please (1-3 tips appreciated). Depending on the
helpfulness of response, I may request a Monday or Tuesday phone
interview. Thank you.
