Two editorials from #RSAC today + then 2 written recaps, one by Sean Martin, CISSP and one by Marco Ciappelli and we will call the #RSAC adventure off!
Or will we ... 😬?!

🎙️ How do cybersecurity leaders balance innovation, real business needs, and practical risk management in today’s evolving landscape?

In this On Location Conversation from #RSAC2025, Phillip Miller, MA, CISSP, joins Sean Martin, CISSP to offer a candid and grounded perspective on what’s working — and what’s missing — inside today’s enterprise security strategies.

Miller shares lessons from stepping away from a traditional #CISO seat to work hands-on with startups, and why closing the door on emerging technology vendors might cost organizations more than they realize.

He dives into:
Shifting buying conversations to empower security teams
Looking beyond legacy providers to marketplace ecosystems
Leading with business risks before chasing technology solutions
Building better teams and third-party risk management programs

Catch the full conversation to hear why peer discussions at events like RSAC aren’t just valuable — they’re critical to keeping security leadership connected to real innovation.
