Daniel Hooper is currently the CISO at Varo Money, one of the leading mobile first digital banks in the US. Prior to Varo, Daniel was the CISO at PIMCO, the global investment firm with nearly $2trillion USD in assets under management. Daniel and I connected via LinkedIn following a viral post of his regarding how CISO's should respond to the questions, "Are we good?" & "Are we secure?" These all too common questions highlight the need for CISO's to translate the complex technological problems they face into meaningful talking points to explore with their business peers. On the show, Daniel and I dig into his suggestions for responding to these questions as well as:

What did Daniel need to work on most during his first CISO jobs?

How does Daniel go out of his way to continually understand his business peers and his clients?

What's the worst piece of security advice he's ever gotten?
