In this episode of Phishy Business, we feature a roundtable discussion with three members from the Center for Internet Security (CIS). Mimecast CMO Norman Guadagno hosts this wide-ranging discussion that covers many topics, including cybersecurity trends in the public sector and why information sharing is essential to keeping our connected world safe.

Our special guests are Sean Atkinson, CISO, Randy Rose, CIS Sr. Director of Security Operations and Intelligence, and Karen Sorady, VP of MS-ISAC Member Engagement (and former NY State CISO). The trio shares the mission and background of CIS, as well as their experiences and learnings from years working with the public sector.

• Are we in better or worse shape in terms of cybersecurity than we were 20 years ago?
