Re: CISO answers to...?
@Joe Stanganelli interesting observation ... and when I think more about it... it like small blanket on the king bed...
Re: CISO answers to...?
@Mike: Which is usually the case -- although it is something that pundits are beginning to rethink as conflicts of interest between the CIO's bottom line and the CISO's bottom line become more apparent.
Thanks for checking!

Re: F5' s Interesting Move
I'm wondering at what level the security will exist... Intel and Tanium are working on a chip-level solution for IoT security because that might be the only common point for a diverse range of IoT devices.
If they can figure it out.. there will be an incredible boost to every bit of tech gadgetry. But if only Intel has it... I wonder how ARM-based devices and other hardware will adapt.
Re: CISO answers to...?
Joe, I just received confirmation that Mike Convertino reports directly to the CIO who, in turn, rolls up under the COO's organization.
CISO answers to...?
Does Convertino answer to the CIO... or does he answer to CEO McAdam, the CFO, the board, or...?
I ask because there is a lot of debate as to to whom the CISO should answer to because of the conflict of interest between the CIO's role and the CISO's role.

Re: F5' s Interesting Move
For sure, fearless Leader--but as I see it, the closest one in the running will be Google--whether they can pull it off is a different question right now.
Re: F5' s Interesting Move
Being Captain Obvious here, but whichever vendor can provide unified security options (at the access layer?) to manage IoT and BYOD devices is going to have a huge leg up.
