Marene Allison: In cyber everything changes every six months, and there's a new lens and there's a whole new set of new technologies that are going to be out there. And as CISO I got to take the new threat, my IT environment that doesn't change as rapidly as security environment does, and then wrap it again and look at what works. I think we have an awesome job because we get all these new technologies. We get to look at all the different ways an adversary is going to come after us. And then look at how we're going to secure it.

Speaker 2: Hello and welcome to Security Visionaries, hosted by Jason Clark, CISO at Netskope. You just heard from today's guest, Marene Allison, Chief Information Security Officer at Johnson & Johnson.

Today, Marene is upholding another oath to protect her company from invaders trying to steal their data. In the evolving world of cyber security, threats can come at every turn. As security leaders, it's our duty to translate those threats into actionable information for executives. And with a talented team, you'll always be prepared to protect your company from attack. Before we dive into Marene's interview, here's a brief word from our sponsor.

Jason Clark: Welcome to Security Visionaries. I'm your host, Jason Clark. And today I am joined by an amazing colleague Marene Allison. Marene, how are you doing?

Marene Allison: I'm doing great Jason, thank you for having me. This is a great program.

Jason Clark: Thank you. I'm excited to bring out some of the things that I think that the community will be really interested in about you. You've got a really amazing background. I'm actually jealous of your background, to be honest. I wish I went to West Point. I wish I joined the FBI. And you gone that unique path of yours. I went in the army, but that's a big difference than going to West Point, which many of my family members have been at. So maybe we can start by talking about you being the first class of women to graduate from West Point, and what that still means to you today.

Marene Allison: Yeah, actually I never wanted to go to West Point. I wanted to go to the Air Force Academy. And probably the first person even before we knew the word sponsor that sponsored me and helped me with direction in my life was Margaret Heckler, Congresswoman from Massachusett. She gave me her principal nomination to West Point. And I went sight unseen, never seen the place, walk
