Had an interesting conversation with David Spark and Mike Johnson where we discussed some of the challenges that CISOs face.

- How a security vendor can rebuild trust after a breach? 
- Challenges CISOs face with telecommuting. 
- Should the "Sec" exist in the brand "DevSecOps"? 
- What to do with repeat offenders of phishing tests?

Statistically when a woman sees a job opening, she is more likely to look for a 100% match with the qualifications, while a man will more likely look for just a 60% match. Aanchal Gupta, Director of Security at Facebook, explains how she didn’t realize she was selling herself short until she had to be convinced by the hiring manager at Skype that she was a great fit for a security lead position. She soon realized she needed to trust herself more and be able to raise her hand to grab opportunities.

As a director of security at Facebook, I’m in a position to help more than 2 billion people feel safe while using our service. I work a lot with students, many of whom ask me how I got to where I am, and I tell them I’m not sure there is a one-size-fits-all approach. In fact, I would say it’s my unique experience that helped put me in this position. Here is my story, including some of the lessons that I’ve learned which led me to this role.

        I hired Aanchal into Skype to lead Application Security for me. As a succession plan I also planned for her to replace me. She excelled in both! Leading a global team, with very demanding use cases and business stakeholders she utilized her leadership and technical skill sets to the full.
