Welcome to The Virtual CISO Moment Podcast
Information Security for Small and Midsized Businesses
A Message From Greg
I have decided to take a sabbatical from The Virtual CISO Moment. My father passing last week was the catalyst, but I've been considering this for some time now. As you may know, I've been recording on average at least one discussion/interview per week since spring 2022, having had the pleasure to speak with over 250 individuals, the vast majority information security professionals. The three years before that, I produced content, for a total of 373 episodes since 2019. That's a lot of content!
If you want to go back and view one or more, here's the YouTube playlist:

But, I need a break. I need to take care of some things, and take care of myself.
I don't know when I will end the sabbatical. To those whose bookings I had to cancel (I was booked through mid October), as noted in the email I sent earlier, I apologize, and you will have the first opportunity to rebook before I open up to the public when I return from sabbatical.
When will that be? I don't know. All I can say is I will know when the time is right. If I never return to it, I can look back with satisfaction that a little podcast made a difference. I've heard many stories to support that, and I am humbled by each one, those heard and unheard.
Until then, Stay Secure.

At an average annual compensation of over $279,000*, the cost of adding a full-time Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) can far exceed the budgets of many small and midsized businesses (SMBs). However, many SMBs don't require a full-time security leadership position. That's where a virtual CISO (vCISO) adds value.
