Show Notes

In this episode I had a chance to sit down in person with the always insightful and never dull cybersecurity leader, Jim Kuiphof. Jim is the Deputy Chief Information Security Officer at Corewell Health. The topic for this casual conversation is Understanding Your Personal Risk Tolerance. More specifically, it speaks to understanding the different between your own risk tolerance and the business's risk tolerance.

Jim has talked on this recently at events like Cloud Con and the Digital Services Summit. His ideas for understanding how to balance personal and business has been a HUGE thing in my professional career.

Talking Points:

  • What is Risk?
  • What is Tolerance?
  • Understanding the difference between Personal Risk and Business Risk
  • Why is it so important to understanding alignment?
  • Diagnosing the Dissonance
  • What do you do about it?
  • What does taking ownership look like?
  • Maintaining risk tolerance alignment

This talk is not only useful for people in the cybersecurity industry, but across all of information technology. It does matter what level you are at, this information can help you!
