Learnings from the podcast

  1. Vendor / Platform selection should be based on organization goals. CISOs & Security leaders should prioritize selection based on current posture and look at achieving a set of future goals vs compliance needs or by following a checkbox approach.
  2. Vendor health is an important aspect of determining a platform/vendor. For agent-based solutions, avoid & delay automatic updates from vendors.
  3. When rolling out vendor tools, follow a phased rollout and add the rollout as part of a contract clause. This will push vendors to prioritize implementation, support & training.
