The Value of RSA, Black Hat, and Mega Cyber Tradeshows

All links and images for this episode can be found on CISO Series.

Are trade shows like RSA getting so big that there's not enough economic value for a CISO to attend? Or do these events have enough industry gravity to justify the spend?

Check out this post for the discussion that is the basis of our conversation on this week's episode co-hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), the producer of CISO Series, and Geoff Belknap (@geoffbelknap), CISO, LinkedIn. Joining us is our special guest Lee Parrish, CISO, Newell Brands.
