Innovating Security, What Happens First? - Guests: Curt Carlson, Professor of Practice, Northeastern University and Distinguished Executive in Residence, WPI & Karen Worstell, Senior Cybersecurity Strategist at VMware

CIO Exchange Podcast

Is security a barrier to innovation, or would innovation not even be relevant without security? Security is often seen as a tax or barrier to new and creative solutions that could potentially create more value if security didn't slow everything down. But is this still true? In this episode, we have a hallway-style conversation with Curt Carlson, the author of the book entitled Innovation, who also served as the CEO of SRI International, widely known for the work done to create Apple's Siri interface and many other world-changing innovations. Curt is joined by Karen Worstell, Senior Cybersecurity Strategist at VMware, and they discuss the fundamental flaws to many approaches to security technology, and how IT leaders will need to make dramatic shifts in their operational models in order to solve these problems. Curt and Karen cover topics ranging from real value creation perspectives and frameworks, to security innovation, and redefining company leadership principles for the future.
