Name: Sean Martin ITSPmagazine
Category: Business and FinanceEmail: query-b4xq@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: ITSPmagazine
Deadline: 9:00 PM PST - 13 August
Query:
We are putting together a series of podcasts together to discuss
how cybersecurity helps the business be a better business. This
episode will be presented directly from the CEO and/or line of
business (LoB) owner perspective, giving the guest we select
from this query a chance to tell their story on the podcast. The
story should go beyond risk management to demonstrate how they
made or saved time, money, resources, customers, employees,
products (or ??) by implementing a cybersecurity program. Your
response to this query must be from the CEO of the company or
from a LoB owner within the company. The response must describe
the "cybersecurity has a business value" story in 2-3 succinct,
yet meaningful, paragraphs. The CEO/LoB owner must also be able
and available to expand on the story as a guest on the podcast
(we will coordinate timing after we select the best response).
Requirements:
This specific request is limited to CEOs and line of business
owners that have a success story to share AND that are able and
available to join us for a podcast to share their story. If the
CEO/LoB owner is not able to speak, please don't respond to this
query. This specific request excludes submissions from
cybersecurity companies; all other industries and company types
are welcome. This is NOT a request for product/service pitches -
they will be immediately discarded. This is NOT a request for
how technology "saved the day" if the only thing that is
presented in the response is the technology that was used and is
missing how it tangibly impacted the top and/or bottom lines
business in a positive manner. This is NOT a request to sling
cybersecurity jargon as a story (such as "reduced risk" or
"blocked attacks") --- other publications can tell that story.
We want the real business value. While all of these requirements
may seem daunting, please recognize that it means we want to
capture the best story possible - that's our mission here and is
our only goal in setting the requirements as we've done. Thanks
for your understanding!

Query:
August 26, 2020 -- celebrated as Women's Equality Day -- is the
100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution, granting women the right to vote.
Landmark signs of progress like the 19th Amendment are something
to be celebrated. But as we've been reminded over the last few
months by the timely and poignant Black Lives Matter movement,
there's still much work to be done.
Although inequality remains in every sphere of our society,
Fairygodboss was started in 2015 to improve the workplace
through increased transparency. We believe transparency about
the inequalities we face in the workplace can help us tackle
them head on. And as part of our Women's Equality Day campaign,
we want to share our platform and give you the opportunity to be
transparent about your own workplace experiences and the changes
that still need to be made.
So, in 30 seconds or less, tell us about a time you experienced
inequality by capturing a video of yourself on your cell phone.
These examples may tell a story about microaggressions,
offensive language, pay gaps, lack of upward mobility or
differences in job security you've experienced as the result of
your gender, race, sexuality or other identifier. Please visit
the site page for further submission instructions:
