A CISO, or chief information security officer, is a senior-level executive who oversees an organization’s information, cyber, and technology security. We recently had a fun conversation with our friend and CISO Sachin Surajbali about what is means to be a CISO.

We love Exchange Server! No, really - I’ve personally been working with Exchange Server in some form or fashion since Exchange Server 5.5 in the late ’90s and in some circles that makes me a late bloomer.

In this episode, Nic and I discuss the relevance of Exchange Server and attempt to answer this question.
During this episode we refer to a couple of recent articles, here are the links:
