","summary":"In this episode of Hitch Cast we welcome two outstanding security leaders from Zendesk, Maarten Van Horenbeeck, Chief Information Security Officer and Monica Sevilla, Director, Security Strategy & Planning to discuss the roles and distinction between Program Management and the Chief of Staff (CoS) within a modern CISO organization. In our conversation Maarten and Monica breakdown the history of the hire and how the program manager role has evolved into a more strategic CoS function. Furthermore they also explore how this function has increased the common ground between complex technical security challenges and non-technical business risk. Finally Maarten and Monica discuss how their thriving partnership has helped the company’s overall security posture by creating new opportunities for programs around security training, mentoring, and trust programs. We hope that you enjoy this episode!","date_published":"2021-03-09T19:00:00.000-05:00","attachments":[{"url":"https://aphid.fireside.fm/d/1437767933/6d9ff196-b8b5-43c1-a3b3-1c3234e65e5d/a6a9618f-0ed0-4171-94ba-41fa6bdfb2d0.mp3","mime_type":"audio/mpeg","size_in_bytes":40216473,"duration_in_seconds":2466}]},{"id":"b7dc6e68-5c2a-40d0-8f19-f7d7984180d9","title":"Paul Valente, CEO and co-founder, VISO Trust","url":"https://hitchcast.fireside.fm/paul-valente-viso-trust","content_text":"Going into the pandemic it was cited that two-thirds of security breaches occurred due to the failure of third parties to meet their security commitments.

Until recently the typical paths for an information security leader and a physical security leader have tended to remain independent. While it is not uncommon to find an informational security leader who is building out and managing the physical security capabilities within a company, it is significantly more rare to see a security leader come up from a primarily physical security background to take on responsibility of the informational security scope within a company.
\n\nWe are now beginning to see examples of these two traditionally divergent paths become more intertwined over the past few years. As a result we are seeing a new brand of hybrid leaders in the market. Jason Veiock, is the Director of Global Workplace Experience, Security, and Resilience for GoDaddy. Jason has built upon a uniquely qualified background from both the public and private sectors that offer us a glimpse of what a modern hybrid information officer and physical security officer could look like. We were hoping to share Jason’s unique journey, and leadership perspectives with the community.
\n\nThank you Jason Veiock for your service to the country and for sharing your story with us.
