Please join the CISO Series community on Friday, January 8th, 2021 for “Hacking Cyber Media: An hour of critical thinking about how media companies are reporting on cyber news”.

Joining David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series for this discussion will be:

Dave Bittner (@bittner), producer and co-host, The CyberWire

Carole Theriault (@caroletheriault), producer and co-host, Smashing Security podcast

In preparation for our discussion, think about the following:

What are the responsibilities of media companies when it comes to reporting cybersecurity stories?

How does that differ between mainstream media and industry specific media?

What are the media companies not reporting that they should be reporting?

What part of your cyber education is rooted in consuming industry media? What can be done to better improve it?

What are the best avenues to receive that information?

It all starts at 10 AM Pacific/1 PM Eastern. At the end of the hour [11 AM Pacific/2 PM Eastern] we'll switch gears into a series of impromptu 1-on-1 five-minute meetings where everyone will be randomly paired. Nothing to prepare, we’ll do the matching.

Best bad ideas get first responses in "Department of YES".

Other bad ideas featured in “What’s Worse?!” game.

The BEST bad idea wins an award and a $25 Amazon gift card.
