Show Notes

This podcast explores how the CISO Marketplace streamlines vendor sourcing for security leaders by eliminating repetitive "discovery theater". It dives into how organizations can use ten free total cost of ownership (TCO) and sizing tools to uncover hidden technology costs, such as compounding carrier waste, unbudgeted cloud egress fees, and the true staffing requirements for a 24/7 SOC. Listeners will also learn how leveraging vendor-agnostic, CISSP-credentialed engineers can help them translate their exact needs into actionable RFP specifications and negotiate better contracts.
