Get the report: How to Achieve CIO-CEO Alignment in the Era of AI
Join host Emily Wearmouth on the Security Visionaries podcast for her engaging conversation with Phil Miller, Divisional CISO at LPL Financial, about democratizing security. Learn more about his unique approach to making security an understandable and shared responsibility, as well as how this democratized approach relates to the idea of “security by design.” Additionally, Phil showcases practical ways to implement the democratization of security, including leveraging automation and AI, as well as detailing what metrics are used to measure success and why the human factor cannot be overlooked within security protocols.
When I say “democratize security,” I mean that security in any organization should be so easily consumable for the business that they barely know it’s there. Essentially, security to the business is a frictionless process that runs in the background because it’s really about empowering everyone in the business to have ownership and security.
