## Resource

In this edition of Risky Business Features James Wilson chats with cohost Brad Arkin about what it’s like being a CISO for a global company when a war starts. How do you deal with a branch office full of important key material being abandoned? What about cloud infrastructure that’s in a data centre that falls into enemy hands? And if your staff are okay, are any of your key suppliers going to face problems? As you’ll hear, being a wartime CISO is less about adjusting your SIEM sensitivity because the Iranians are coming to get you, and more about figuring out how to deal with very real threats to life and infrastructure.
