I took a job as CISO for a fintech firm. I have found out they have more gaping holes than riley reid. Windows 2000 servers sql 7. No waf no ids...should i stay and ask for more cash or jump ship. TC 310
Do your job and fix it
The SQL needs a total rewrite. The dev team are all 50 amd over and burned out
Second Glasswall
Well said Manium
Hired as a CISO. "This is really bad, should I quit?" If you have to ask that question, then yes. Let your employer hire someone that can actually do the job.
Or you can blow me
TC not high enough for that.
Serious question: did you ask any questions about their infra during the interview? Or was it all a big lie :)
They bragged about passing all soc2 and penn tests. Come to find out they lied on the SOC and gave wrong IP on the penn test.
It is Pentest not Penn Test. Walk away! You should not be a CISO!
So you are not the "C" of anything. Also how did you get hired in the "C" tier with those leadership and influencing skills.
I guess im just better than you.
Not a troll, but it kind of sounds you are not that passionate about your job. You want the title more. I get it, it is important in this (shallow world). What could be a nice story for you, make a deal, if you fix the security issues, you get VP. Will be a nice feather in your cap for the next job
Agreed but after 20 years in the game im kinda jaded. I was hired as a CISO not CTO. I cant do my job with out resources
Same issue, different company. Turn the ship around with what you have.
I will, but venting here helps...
TC of 310k for a CISO! That is sad
+1 for the Riley Reid reference. Ask for more cash and bail after a year.
