So leadership has changed but the new CISO is someone who just can't stop talking. Sheesh...

Just heard AS put in his notice, was he pushed out or decided he had enough? Anyone in CIS heard from him?

Not super surprising with CIS buried in FAST. What does this mean cybersecurity at Nike?

Who's supposed to handle security at the board level if the CISO role doesn't exist? Does Nike not give a sh-t about security?

interested in your impression if you have met him. i met him a while back and was not impressed. he seem odd and awkward and didnt really appear competent for his job.

“So, I literally came up with a plan to become a CISO, and I executed on it.”

Another executive leaving the dumpster fire.

Has anyone heard anything about the CISO org?

met him for the first time the other day and i couldnt believe how this guy got to this position. another example of unqualified people getting promoted to sr leadership. omg.

When will the EC wake up that they have a CISO problem? The mind map done a while back showed the CISO has no support, respect, nor leadership of his group.

was stuck in a GTO security meeting with a VP, an SD, and a D who were completely clueless about security. Honestly, my 12-year-old knows more than these muppets. I get it, though. They probably got roped into this gig after the CISO and the whole team were shown the door to save a few quid. "Who needs a security team? They're just a drain on resources."

I won't spill the beans on the meeting, but let’s just say it involved an HR, ethics, and legal issue that any other company would take seriously. Here? It was all about blaming the victim. When I asked security to check reports or audit records, they shrugged and said they don’t keep those. Really? That’s a load of rubbish. The last security team handed me a year-long report detailing profile baselines and behaviour deviations.

The current GTO security crew is either completely lost or they've slashed costs so much they can't even run the show anymore.

HSK = Hardware Security Key for those that don't know. It's a little USB type device with a fingerprint reader on the top that plugs into the USB-C port. It's quite small and VERY easily losable. Even though "technically" you aren't supposed to leave it in the computer, 99.999% of people do.

The entire "frictionless access" is d-mb. Dell spent all sorts of money on these little HSK keys to be more "secure" but, 99.99% of people just leave them in their computer anyways. They aren't "easier" or more convenient since you have to input your PIN first, THEN put your finger on it. Every place I need to login to that isn't requiring an ADM account, which requires an RSA code, I choose to use just my PIN and sc--w the HSK.

It's faster (JUST the PIN,) one step less and to even use the HSK you literally have to click the option to use it. D-mbest sht I've ever seen so far. If it were fingerprint only and you didnt have to "choose to use the key" then ok, fine.

What a massive waste of money Dell spent on this lol. I'd bet money that everybody's HSK PIN is the same exact PIN they use already. If I had to bet more money, I'd bet that most people's PINs are just their phone number w/o the area code lmfao.

I'm not sure but, unless Dell plans on forcing everyone to use this HSK for logins - with no other options such as a PIN, password, RSA - then wtf was the point in this?

SS is cleaning house in EMEA and the Americas! This is long overdue. Half of that organization is completely worthless!
